Welcome to A New Era of Broking
At Global Albatross, we specialize exclusively in international health insurance for expatriates.
Unlike brokers who cover everything from car to home insurance, we focus solely on one thing: international medical. This narrow focus means we understand the fine print, exclusions, and global provider networks inside and out.
Whether you’re reviewing your current policy, exploring new options, or looking to adjust an individual or group plan—we’re here to help. We’ll walk you through your choices, explain the details, and make sure you get the coverage that fits your life.
We operate ethically, provide real value, and deliver expert service every step of the way.
Global Albatross. Focused on your health, wherever you are.
How Are We Different From Other Brokers?
Our relationship with you doesn’t end once your policy is set up—that’s just the beginning.
With global medical costs on the rise and premiums increasing year after year, it’s vital that expatriates get maximum value from their coverage.
That’s where we come in—not just as advisors, but as long-term advocates for your health and your wallet.
So, what sets us apart from other brokers? A few key differences make all the difference…
One Contact Point
You’ll have a dedicated advisor who manages your policy from start to finish—beginning with your first inquiry, through setup, claims, renewals, and even emergency support.
That same advisor is your single point of contact throughout the life of your policy. They handle reviews, monitor performance, and advocate on your behalf to ensure your health insurer delivers on underwriting, claims processing, and customer service—exactly as promised.
Count On Continuity
At many large broking firms, clients are often passed from one department to another depending on the task—claims, renewals, questions, emergencies. This fragmented approach can lead to confusion and missed opportunities to claim key benefits.
At Global Albatross, you’ll work with one experienced advisor who handles every aspect of your policy. That means clear communication, a consistent advocate, and confidence that you’re receiving everything you’re entitled to under your health insurance coverage.
Always On. Always Advocating.
Medical emergencies don’t wait for office hours—and neither do we.
We’re on call 24/7, because when you’re in a medical facility at 11pm on a Saturday night, you shouldn’t have to deal with the insurer—we’ll do that for you.
From minor treatments to major emergencies, we step in and advocate on your behalf, so you can focus on what matters most: your health and your loved ones.
We Know The Detail
Our award-winning service becomes especially valuable when it’s time to make a claim.
We know your policy inside out—every clause, sub-clause, disclosure, and piece of medical history. We also track every past claim and how it was settled. So when a decision comes back unfair or incorrect, we know it immediately—and we take action.
We regularly get claims decisions overturned because we understand the details better than anyone else. That’s the difference expert advocacy makes.
Why Choose Global Albatross?
Independent. Ongoing. Free to You.
Global Albatross works solely in your best interests—not the insurer’s—and continues to support you throughout the life of your policy, at no cost to you.
From the moment your policy begins to every claim, renewal, and question along the way, we’re here as your dedicated advisor and advocate.
The Research Is on Us. The Decision Is Yours.
Our team does the hard work of comparing plans across top insurers—highlighting the most suitable options based on your specific needs, so you can make a clear and confident decision.
Proactive Reviews. Smarter Coverage.
Unlike many brokers who disappear after the policy is in place, we stay actively involved. At renewal, we benchmark your plan against others in the market to ensure it still meets your needs—and if there’s a better option, we’ll help you switch with confidence.
Unbiased. Expert. On Your Side.
At Global Albatross, we don’t receive incentives to promote one insurer over another. Our advice is based solely on what’s best for you.
With deep expertise in international health insurance and a clear understanding of market trends, we offer impartial guidance to help you choose the policy that offers the right protection—wherever life takes you.
Choosing The Right Insurer
Many health insurance plans may look similar at first glance—but the real differences lie in the details.
We highlight what sets each plan apart, from gaps in coverage to how insurers actually perform when it matters: their responsiveness, claims payout timelines, and how easy they are to work with.
We’ll never recommend an insurer who can’t deliver the level of support you need.
Compare with Clarity. Choose with Confidence.
Global Albatross partners with a range of top international insurers to provide clear, side-by-side comparisons of plans, benefits, and premiums—customized specifically for your situation.
We highlight what truly sets each plan apart, so you can decide which benefits matter most and make a confident, informed choice.
