No, you do not need a healthcare card for expat health insurance.


While an insurance card is commonly used as proof of coverage when you are under the public health insurance, this works a bit differently for expat health and private health insurances.

As an expat health insurance policyholder, you will select 'self paying' or 'privately insured' when booking an appointment.

You can visit any accredited doctor, and we recommend using Doctolib to find a suitable doctor in your area.

What this means is that you'll receive the invoices from your doctor, dentist, etc., and you'll pay them upfront (or request a payment plan if the bill is too expensive).

Please then submit all invoices, receipts, prescriptions, etc. through the claims area in your Feather account to start the reimbursement process.

You can lean more about how to submit a claim here.
