Local Healthcare / Supplemental Insurance
Many international employees are unaware that even with partnered service providers and clinics, they almost all require payment in local currency up front - and the employee needs to manage their own reimbursement later. This can be confusing, complicated, and especially means that emergency situations can pose a problem if the person does not happen to have enough cash on them to pay for the deposit (can be up to $2,000 USD).
​
We prioritize the well-being of your employees with our local healthcare and supplemental insurance packages, providing access to quality healthcare services and additional coverage for added peace of mind.
​
Niofar provides:
-
Supplemental Local Healthcare through our group
-
Advance Payments for urgent Medical Purchases
-
Coordination with Local Clinics and International Insurance Providers
Expense Management
Managing currency in MRU and CFA can mean lots of international fees, multiple payments to several different local companies - most of whom are not established companies, do not pay taxes, and do not issue receipts - and lots of headache for your Accounting and Finance Department.
​
Niofar offers:
-
Advanced Payments
-
Expense Management for Local Purchases

One Consolidated Monthly Invoice
