Cigna offers three levels of care in their international insurance policies: Silver, Gold, and Platinum, with prices and benefits increasing accordingly. They also offer a more economical plan called Close Care, which only works in your country of residence. It's important to note that this plan does not include medical evacuation, maternity care, or travel benefits.

What is needed to apply:

• Application - Submit an online application to us or request a paper application

• Identification - Scan of a government-issued ID for all applicants

• Proof of Residency - Most commonly asked is either a resident visa, or proof of address (rental lease, utility bill, bank statement, etc.)

• Medical Records - Not needed at time of applying, but insurers will generally ask for medical records after you submit an application if you have a major preexisting condition. Most commonly asked-for items are a written diagnosis from your previous physician, and/or recent lab work showing the extent of the condition.
