Hi,
First my sincerely thanks to whoever can share some thoughts with me.
I have some questions regarding medical insurance for employees on global payroll,
[1] Looks like SA will provide free, complimentary medical service through the in-Kingdom facilities. Does the company purchase third-party commercial medical insurance (for example, Cigna Global) to protect expats and their children for repatriation trips?
[2] The medical and dental insurance of my current employers covers my children while they are in university until 26. However, if SA doesn't provide third-party medical insurance, it means that I have to purchase by myself to cover the kids while they are in college in US. Has anyone negotiated with SA to pay for this insurance cost?
[3] When expats travel outside the Kingdom, what are the typical insurance one would purchase?
[4] is the medical facility in Kingdom capable enough to handle complicated medical conditions? Is they can't handle it, who one would do? Does SA pay for medical service out side of Kingdom, if such service is deemed necessary?
Thank you!
