Remote Health is a new freelancer health insurance product by Safetywing that’s economical and easy to manage –great if you’d like to cover yourself, your team, and/or your family all in one dashboard.

Freelance insurance

Safetywing is already a well-known travel insurance company that’s popular among expats and digital nomads due to its affordability and ease of use for international policy holders.

With Remote Health freelance health insurance, Safetywing has taken their offer further to cover more expensive things like cancer treatment and diagnostic procedures.

Whether you’re living in California or Venezuela, or your team mates are based in different locations around the world –Remote Health could be the best health insurance for self employed, for you and/or your team due to its low cost, scalability, and universal access.

In this article we’ll explain what’s covered by Remote Health and in an upcoming article we’ll compare it to competing health insurance for entrepreneurs.

Why Freelancer Health Insurance?

You probably already know why if you’re here, but here’s my story; I’ve been self employed full-time since my early twenties and I’ve gone without self-employed health insurance for much of that time because the gaping hole in Canada’s socialised healthcare has never been as apparent to me as it is now at the ripe old age of thirty-eight.

Surprise health costs woke me up to the need for proper freelance insurance for myself, my wife, and the people I work with.

It’s not that I didn’t want some kind of health insurance for freelancers when I was young and ridiculously healthy –it’s that I figured it would be more trouble and money than it was worth at the time.

Things change, and here we are. That, and freelancer health insurance has often been a tipping point with candidates applying for roles we’ve needed to hire for.

Offering health benefits for freelancers has been the icing on the cake needed to fill remote jobs with A-list candidates, whether we have a team of 2 or a team of a hundred.

Health Insurance for Entrepreneurs

I suggest you visit their website to see exactly what your policy will look like, but here’s the Coles Notes:

  • Human beings under your plan can be located anywhere in the world
  • Employee pre-existing conditions are covered for plans with 5+ employees; those covered can go to any doctor of their choice and enjoy a $1,000,000 coverage limit
  • Upfront fees will be reimbursed, such as doctor fees, ambulance transport, and those related to cancer treatment and/or reconstructive surgery
  • Prescriptions, physiotherapy and more are covered; up to $4,500 for outpatient coverage
  • Dental coverage is also available

Safetywing’s Remote Health works for some of our team, but it doesn’t cover one country I think is important –Canada (me) currently isn’t covered (but it’s going to be soon).

In the meantime offering healthcare for freelancers we hire abroad is another way to cultivate loyalty from our staff. We adjust their salary accordingly, it’s not an extra cost for us to offer it.

Go Into Greater Detail

You can customize your freelancer health insurance plans depending on the unique needs of those you choose to cover –which means this article is only part of the picture.

You can add coverage for dental care, maternity care, and wellness care. The more employees you have covered, the more savings and benefits you receive.

There’s an interactive tool to price out exactly what you’re looking for here.

Which self employed insurance do you use? Let us know in the comments and don’t forget to mention which country you’re from!

Christmas 2012. Thanks, Erica. Dug this up in a banker’s box back at my folk’s. Heirloom-quality memories. 18 1
End of the line. Cold nine months every year in Canada. This is why I love being a #digitalnomad enjoying my cheap $125 rent, beach time, 24/7/365 palm trees, blue and green in the tropics. . 15 0

Winding down my Canadian trip, eager to go home and be with the missus. Fellow travellers; what is hard to find on the road (Asia, mostly) but easy to find in Canada? What should I buy before I leave Canada? I’m notorious for not stocking up on certain things and I always remember after I get to the airport. Whatchoo think? 38 2

Sunrise in Burlington. Hey all! Been in Canada for the summer and neglected Instagram to remain in stealthmode. My home town has changed quite a bit over the last decade of my absence. A fan of change in many ways, but I don't recognize it anymore. I don't think my city recognizes me much anymore, either. 49 3
