Expat health insurance does not issue or require a health insurance card as proof of coverage. Instead, policyholders are required to pay upfront as private patients when visiting accredited doctors. After paying medical invoices upfront, policyholders submit these invoices through their insurance account to get reimbursed. This process differs from public health insurance, which typically uses an insurance card for visits.
