What they say about us

Sébastien F.
Single, expatriate in Panama

I left Madrid a few years ago for a job opportunity in Panama. I am anxious by nature and it has always been important to me to be insured at best and more importantly not to have to ask myself questions about what is or isn’t covered under my health insurance. With Opal, I know everything is covered (optical, dental care, doctors, etc) and that’s without a deductible. Such a comprehensive and simple contract is what convinced me.

Lucie L.
Married, one child, expat in London, United-Kingdom

I am very pleased with Opal. I appreciate the very user-friendly app: with a simple picture as proof of payment, you are quickly reimbursed at a suitable price for your family.  Therefore I would have no hesitations in recommending the Opal insurance.

Anne-Caroline D.
Married, three children, a Swiss expat in London (GB)

When my third child was born, we had to change our health insurance. I was worried at first but I’m very happy now. The online platform to send bills is very easy to use and refunds are very quick. Until now, Opal has taken care of all the health care expenses we submitted (pediatricians, general practitioners, physiotherapists and even speech therapist).

Laurence D.
Married, three children, French expat in italy

When we arrived in Italy, my husband’s status forced us to take a local insurance. It was very expensive and not very efficient so we quickly regretted our choice and then opted for Opal. With a wide range of health care to choose from and quick support, it is the ideal solution for families and you can be sure you’re going to get good treatment no matter what happens.

Oriane G.
Widow, two children, expatriate in the Netherlands, then in Spain

I lived in a complicated family situation with heavy and expensive health care. Without an effective insurance, we would certainly have had to go back to France. With Opal, we had the guarantee of having access to specialists and get an optimal coverage even in the worst-case scenario.

Where do you plan to go in 2021?

Refund

2020 Summer will undoubtedly be remembered. Where – naively – we thought we’d have finished with Covid, here it is : sneakily coming back, upsetting the plans of holidaymakers, even those who had bet on a late departure… The result: frustration and disappointment for many, with the impression that they haven’t been able to really “enjoy” this traditional annual break.

What about the rebound effect? For Fanny Eyraud, the scenario is likely to be the following: once the epidemic is over, travel will resume – both privately and professionally – in greater numbers and from farther away. Hence the importance of preparing today the insurance products adapted to tomorrow’s world!

Emigrate, yes, but you should keep some guarantees !

Refund

Emigration and expatriation in today’s globalized world are two societal trends. More than a trend, we can even speak of a real phenomenon : according to the annual Expat Insider study, the number of expatriates in the world is estimated at around 56-57 million, of which 56% are women and 44% men. Emigration is also a trend in Switzerland, with figures rising every year and a Swiss diaspora reaching 760,200 people in 2018.

Skiing outside Switzerland: what if an accident occurs?

Refund

Switzerland is an exceptional playground for winter sports, but many residents do not hesitate to cross borders to discover new areas. According to a recent survey conducted by the Belgian website European Best Destination among 110,000 holidaymakers, Alpe d’Huez was named the best ski area in Europe, followed by Brixental in Austria and Val Thorens in Savoie, which complete the podium. The Swiss resorts reach 5th place only with Crans-Montana, then further on Zermatt getting the 11th place… This shows the attractiveness of the resorts – especially – French! More than the reasons (budget, second home…) we are interested here in the consequences – sometimes dramatic – of such a choice in the event of a problem, such as an accident.
