Isolation, culture shock and endless screen time can cause digital burnout. Insurance that covers mental health turns therapy from a luxury into a practical lifeline. These insurers do it well:
- Integra Global – out‑patient therapy, regular check‑ins, holistic stress programs.
- Aetna International – premium telehealth, chronic‑care management, 24/7 counselor access.
- Nomad Health by PassportCard – fast payouts for mental‑health services, little paperwork, good for late‑night lows.
Paying for tele‑therapy keeps the brain fresh, which means more creativity and productivity on the road.
1. Pick must‑have benefits – think evacuation, mental‑health, gear loss, trip‑cancel.
2. Set a real budget – compare monthly premium to deductible size and caps, avoid shock.
3. Check country bans and start dates – policy must work in every country you’ll visit and start when you need it.
4. Read user reviews – scroll NomadList, Reddit, niche forums to cut through marketing hype.
5. Layer or bundle – mix a low‑cost starter with niche add‑ons for full peace of mind without overspending.
