Nomad InsuranceNomad InsuranceNomadInsurance.com was founded with a simple mission: to provide honest guidance and personalized solutions for globally mobile individuals. We're not just brokers – we're your partners in navigating the complexities of international healthcare.
To empower global citizens with the insurance knowledge, tools, and support they need to explore the world with confidence and peace of mind.
We represent you, not the insurance companies. Our loyalty is to finding you the best coverage for your unique situation.
Our team combines decades of experience in international insurance with personal knowledge of living and working abroad.
We believe in honest advice, even when it means recommending a solution that might not be the most profitable for us.
We stay with you throughout your global journey, providing ongoing support as your life and insurance needs evolve.
From personal frustration to global insurance innovation
Nomad Insurance began when one of our founders, Justin Barsketis, experienced frustrating gaps in coverage while traveling internationally. In 2018, after a particularly challenging insurance situation in Southeast Asia, he saw an opportunity to revolutionize how global citizens access healthcare protection.
What sets us apart is that we're not just a broker – we're a Managing General Agent (MGA). We design coverage solutions while actively advocating for our clients. Our team of international insurance experts has lived abroad themselves, facing the same healthcare challenges you might encounter. This first-hand perspective drives our commitment to transparent, reliable coverage.
Our approach to insurance is fundamentally different. Beyond providing independent advice and comparing international health plans, we excel at post-sale support. Our clients know they can reach out anytime for guidance, claims assistance, and advocacy when dealing with insurers. This commitment to service has helped us expand to serve clients in over 30 countries.
Today, Nomad Insurance serves expatriates, digital nomads, and frequent international travelers with comprehensive coverage options. We've built strong relationships with leading global insurers to address the unique challenges of healthcare abroad. Our mission remains providing honest guidance and exceptional service while advocating for industry-wide improvements.
"We started Nomad Insurance to solve a real problem that I experienced firsthand. Our mission is simple: provide global citizens with insurance that actually works when they need it most."

Our team includes advisors who have lived as expatriates and digital nomads in multiple countries. We understand the challenges you face because we've experienced them ourselves.
We maintain licenses and certifications in multiple jurisdictions and stay current on international insurance regulations to ensure the advice we provide is both accurate and compliant.
Beyond the sales process, our team has deep technical knowledge of policy details, exclusions, and claims processes with each insurer we represent. This allows us to effectively advocate for our clients when issues arise.
How we help you find and maintain the right international coverage
We begin by understanding your specific needs, travel patterns, health history, and budget considerations. This allows us to identify which insurers and plans will be most appropriate for your unique situation. Unlike many brokers, we take the time to truly understand your lifestyle before making recommendations.
We provide detailed comparisons of suitable plans, highlighting the critical differences in coverage, network access, and claims processes. Because we work with multiple insurance partners, we can offer unbiased comparisons that focus on your needs rather than promoting a single company's products.
Once you've selected a plan, we guide you through the application process, helping you accurately complete medical questionnaires and ensuring you understand any policy limitations or exclusions before you commit. We liaison with underwriters to advocate for the best possible terms for your policy.
This is where we truly stand apart. While most brokers disappear after the sale, we serve as your insurance concierge for the life of your policy. We assist with claims processing, hospital pre-certifications, benefits explanations, dispute resolution, and policy adjustments as your needs change. Having an advocate when you need medical care abroad makes all the difference.
If your needs change or you decide to switch plans, we continue to support you through the transition. We'll help find a suitable new plan if needed, provide documentation to waive waiting periods with your next insurer, and ensure all necessary records are transferred. Our relationship doesn't end when a policy does—we're committed to your long-term insurance success.
Our team is ready to guide you through your options and create a personalized insurance strategy.
