International expatriate insurance specialist William Russell and Dubai InsuranceDubai Insurance have launched a bespoke international health insurance service for Gulf-based companies with more than 50 expatriate employees which allows large companies to tailor their cover to meet their exact requirements. New Global Health Bespoke also offers a range of benefits not normally covered by standard health plans such as optical cover, and full cover for the routine maintenance of chronic conditions.

James Cooper, Sales Director, William Russell says:

"Larger employers often have very specific international health insurance requirements for their staff. For example some employers may require high levels of emergency evacuation cover while others want to cover all aspects of healthcare including preventive care, dental and optical benefits. Other employers may want to cover only acute medical conditions, but may want to add in a preventive medicine benefit to ensure the well-being of staff and their dependants.

"Our new Global Health Bespoke service, launched with Dubai InsuranceDubai Insurance, allows employers to design their plan to fit the company's exact requirements selecting from a wide range of healthcare benefits, geographical limits and currencies."

Global Health Bespoke is available to employers with more than 50 expatriate staff. It offers a simplified application process with cover for pre-existing medical conditions, and no waiting periods. Members will also have access to the network of clinics and hospitals across the Gulf through specialist claims administrator Neuron.
