What does your expat cover ?
Health cover for residents
A plan built for people who live in the Philippines, not for a trip. It is the difference between a policy that expires and one that supports you day to day.
Your ACR I-Card
It shows you are a registered foreign resident. Insurers commonly ask for it, together with your passport, when you apply.
What to have ready
A valid passport, a valid ACR I-Card, your address in the Philippines and your contact details. Crux handles the rest in English.
Global Health Access
Treatment in the Philippines and abroad in one plan, for expats, professionals and frequent travelers.
Health Care Access
Hospitalization cover focused on treatment in the Philippines, with cashless care at partner hospitals.
Why travel insurance is not enough
Travel policies are built for trips. They usually limit the length of stay and exclude routine care and pre-existing conditions.
Three reasons expats need local cover
Without local cover you can pay up front and wait for a reimbursement.
It covers a trip, and residency is a different need.

- Cosmetic procedures and treatment that is not medically necessary.
- Treatment inside a waiting period.

The FAQ, in plain words
Straight answers for foreigners in Cebu.
It is a good idea, because hospital bills can be large and your home cover may not travel. An advisor can compare local and global options for you.
Local cover is designed around care in the Philippines. Global cover also pays for treatment abroad and often includes medical evacuation.
Many plans can include a spouse and children. Ask an advisor for the options.
It depends on the plan and the region it covers. Check with your insurer, and check whether treatment here is covered and how claims work.
Transport to a hospital better equipped to treat you. Ask whether a plan includes it and under what conditions.
