Good Neighbor Insurance is one of the best known international insurance brokerages serving individual travelers, expatriates, and international organizations overseas. So you can imagine we are picky about which international insurance carriers we work with.
Each of our carriers has their own unique advantages. While we like HCC Insurance for many reasons, including the following, please be aware that HCC is no longer accepting employer health insurance applications or renewing group policies due to increasing regulatory pressure from a number of U.S. states, various countries worldwide, as well as the new Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA) taking effect in America.
