My husband and I are moving to Chongqing in the fall. I will be covered by health insurance from my employer, but my husband will not. Can I get him insurance in China?

Hi,

Just contact expatrieassurance@gmail.com
They will cover him for a reasonable price.

The good thing is that in case of hospitalization, the insurance company directly undertakes your hospital medical expenses for you to avoid paying out of your own pocket sums that can be important,

See if you can add him as a dependant to your employee cover. If that's not possible, you can go to international health insurers such as A+ International and William Russell. Hope this helps!
