Where do these insurance companies take the numbers from, and what affects my premiums besides my health condition, or primary country of coverage? In which countries can I expect to pay the most for my health insurance?

With the US and Hong Kong staying firmly on top of our rankings, Dubai&#8217;s sudden jump from 9th place in 2017 to the 4th position this year is quite drastic. This is because the UAE has introduced a 5% tax across the country, which also had an upward impact on insurance premiums in the region. Dubai has surpassed both China and Singapore, locations which have historically ranked either third or fourth most expensive overall.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You can view the full rankings of the 20 most and 5 least expensive countries to buy international health insurance, divided by types of plans, and additional CAGR analysis in our <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">2018 Cost of Health Insurance Report<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.

Other countries, however, have seen some significant changes. While there is a myriad of different factors that influence changes in IPMI premiums, we have identified four that can be applied globally: <\/span><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><b> Increased demand for international quality private care<\/b><\/li>\n<li><b> Increased cost of healthcare<\/b><\/li>\n<li><b> Increased regulation<br \/>\n<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Implementation of stricter insurance licensing<br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Implementation of mandatory cover in some countries<\/span><\/li>\n<li><b> Continued challenges with fraud regulation<\/b><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Increased demand for healthcare in both the public and private sectors is at the same time a key driver of its increasing cost. These two reasons are connected, and in our opinion, the strongest two reasons behind the changes in insurance premiums worldwide. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Moreover, while some countries have introduced mandatory healthcare, which for example in Dubai must also cover all pre-existing conditions, insurance companies are increasing their premiums to protect their business. Tighter government regulations has also had an upward impact on premiums in a number of locations this year.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">At the same time, insurers are investing more in new technologies to fight insurance fraud, which for now, is still at high levels: reportedly 24% of all insurance fraud comes from the healthcare sector.<\/span><\/p>\n<style type=\"text\/css\"><!--td {border: 1px solid #ccc;}br {mso-data-placement:same-cell;}--><\/style>\n<p><span data-sheets-value=\"{&quot;1&quot;:2,&quot;2&quot;:&quot;&quot;}\" data-sheets-userformat=\"{&quot;2&quot;:573,&quot;3&quot;:[null,0],&quot;5&quot;:{&quot;1&quot;:[{&quot;1&quot;:2,&quot;2&quot;:0,&quot;5&quot;:[null,2,0]},{&quot;1&quot;:0,&quot;2&quot;:0,&quot;3&quot;:3},{&quot;1&quot;:1,&quot;2&quot;:0,&quot;4&quot;:1}]},&quot;6&quot;:{&quot;1&quot;:[{&quot;1&quot;:2,&quot;2&quot;:0,&quot;5&quot;:[null,2,0]},{&quot;1&quot;:0,&quot;2&quot;:0,&quot;3&quot;:3},{&quot;1&quot;:1,&quot;2&quot;:0,&quot;4&quot;:1}]},&quot;7&quot;:{&quot;1&quot;:[{&quot;1&quot;:2,&quot;2&quot;:0,&quot;5&quot;:[null,2,0]},{&quot;1&quot;:0,&quot;2&quot;:0,&quot;3&quot;:3},{&quot;1&quot;:1,&quot;2&quot;:0,&quot;4&quot;:1}]},&quot;8&quot;:{&quot;1&quot;:[{&quot;1&quot;:2,&quot;2&quot;:0,&quot;5&quot;:[null,2,0]},{&quot;1&quot;:0,&quot;2&quot;:0,&quot;3&quot;:3},{&quot;1&quot;:1,&quot;2&quot;:0,&quot;4&quot;:1}]},&quot;12&quot;:0}\"><div class='code-block code-block-5' style='margin: 8px 0; clear: both;'>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pacificprime.sg\/compare-quotes\/step-one\/?campSource=PPSG-Blog&utm_source=blog&utm_medium=cta_banner&utm_campaign=banner&utm_content=quote?campSource=PPSG-Blog&utm_source=blog&utm_medium=content_banner&utm_campaign=banner&utm_content=general\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-778\" src=\"https:\/\/www.pacificprime.sg\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Blog-Banner_Singapore_1.jpg\" width=\"1138\" height=\"493\" \/><\/a><\/p><\/div>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">How does Singapore rank in the 2018 Cost of International Health Insurance Report?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As mentioned above, Singapore\u2019s cost of international health insurance has dropped, although the city-state still places itself in the top 10 most expensive countries in the world to obtain international health insurance. In this year\u2019s edition, we have also utilized onshore plan data for Singapore, which we believe, partially explains the premium price drop in Singapore. The onshore plans are usually cheaper than their offshore counterparts, and yet those local plans are more suitable for people living in Singapore. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The average price of a private individual medical plan in Singapore is USD 4,520, placing it on the 9th place in our rankings, and the price for family plans is USD 13,955 per annum &#8211; making Singapore the 6th most expensive city to obtain such coverage worldwide. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Download the 2018 Cost of International Health Insurance Report<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Pacific Prime&#8217;s fourth annual <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pacificprime.com\/cohi-2018\/download\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Cost of Health Insurance Report is now available for download<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In it, individuals, families and companies alike will find valuable information on the cost of <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">international health insurance around the world, key findings, and the reasons behind premium changes. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Get a complimentary copy of this year&#8217;s <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Cost of International Health Insurance Report<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> today, and don\u2019t forget to visit our <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pacificprime.sg\/health-guides\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">resource section<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> for more reports and insurance guides, or simply <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pacificprime.sg\/contact-us\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">contact us<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and get a free quote and plan comparisons now!<\/span><\/p>\n<style type=\"text\/css\"><!--td {border: 1px solid #ccc;}br {mso-data-placement:same-cell;}--><\/style>\n<p><span data-sheets-value=\"{&quot;1&quot;:2,&quot;2&quot;:&quot;&quot;}\" data-sheets-userformat=\"{&quot;2&quot;:573,&quot;3&quot;:[null,0],&quot;5&quot;:{&quot;1&quot;:[{&quot;1&quot;:2,&quot;2&quot;:0,&quot;5&quot;:[null,2,0]},{&quot;1&quot;:0,&quot;2&quot;:0,&quot;3&quot;:3},{&quot;1&quot;:1,&quot;2&quot;:0,&quot;4&quot;:1}]},&quot;6&quot;:{&quot;1&quot;:[{&quot;1&quot;:2,&quot;2&quot;:0,&quot;5&quot;:[null,2,0]},{&quot;1&quot;:0,&quot;2&quot;:0,&quot;3&quot;:3},{&quot;1&quot;:1,&quot;2&quot;:0,&quot;4&quot;:1}]},&quot;7&quot;:{&quot;1&quot;:[{&quot;1&quot;:2,&quot;2&quot;:0,&quot;5&quot;:[null,2,0]},{&quot;1&quot;:0,&quot;2&quot;:0,&quot;3&quot;:3},{&quot;1&quot;:1,&quot;2&quot;:0,&quot;4&quot;:1}]},&quot;8&quot;:{&quot;1&quot;:[{&quot;1&quot;:2,&quot;2&quot;:0,&quot;5&quot;:[null,2,0]},{&quot;1&quot;:0,&quot;2&quot;:0,&quot;3&quot;:3},{&quot;1&quot;:1,&quot;2&quot;:0,&quot;4&quot;:1}]},&quot;12&quot;:0}\"><div class='code-block code-block-6' style='margin: 8px 0; clear: both;'>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pacificprime.sg\/compare-quotes\/step-one\/?campSource=PPSG-Blog&utm_source=blog&utm_medium=cta_banner&utm_campaign=banner&utm_content=quote\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-781\" src=\"https:\/\/www.pacificprime.sg\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/PPSG_Gen_02.jpg\" alt=\"Get an Insurance quote banner\" width=\"1138\" height=\"493\" \/><\/a><\/p><\/div>\n<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In our newly released, complimentary 2018 Cost of International Health Insurance Report, you will find the answers to the questions that many of you ask when searching for health insurance, or while renewing your current plans, such as: What is the actual cost of health insurance?
