Question 1

What does international health insurance typically cover?

Accepted Answer

A standard international health insurance policy arranged through Premier Insurance includes public liability (usually £1m–£10m), employers' liability (£10m minimum if you employ staff), tools and equipment, business contents, stock, and optional cover such as professional indemnity, cyber liability, business interruption and product liability. Cover is tailored to how your international health operation actually works rather than a one-size-fits-all package.

Question 2

How much does international health insurance cost in the UK?

Accepted Answer

International Health insurance premiums in the UK typically start from around £15–£45 per month for sole traders and rise based on turnover, number of employees, claims history, location and level of cover. Premier Insurance compares quotes from 200+ UK and Lloyd's of London insurers — including AXA, Aviva, Allianz, Hiscox, Zurich, RSA and QBE — so you only pay for the cover you genuinely need.

Question 3

Do I legally need international health insurance?

Accepted Answer

If you employ any staff in the UK — even part-time or casual — Employers' Liability Insurance is a legal requirement under the Employers' Liability (Compulsory Insurance) Act 1969 with a £10m minimum limit. Public liability is not legally required but is contractually demanded by almost every commercial client, landlord, local authority and main contractor.
