Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need international health insurance to live in Lagos?▼

Yes — and for most visa types it is legally required. Lagos has several international-standard private hospitals. Africa's largest city and commercial capital. Local health insurance in Nigeria typically covers citizens and permanent residents, not temporary visa holders. Cigna Global's international plans are designed specifically for people living abroad and accepted by most Nigeria visa authorities.

How much does Cigna Global cost for expats in Lagos?▼

Pricing varies by age, plan tier, and coverage area. For a healthy adult under 40 in Lagos, expect to pay approximately $100–$300/month for a solid Gold plan. Senior expats (55+) can expect $300–$600/month. Adding dental, vision, or maternity increases the premium. Get an exact quote through our Cigna Global affiliate link.

Is Cigna Global accepted at hospitals in Lagos?▼

Cigna Global has a direct billing network that spans thousands of hospitals across Africa and worldwide. At network hospitals, they bill Cigna directly — you don't pay out of pocket. For out-of-network care, you pay and submit a reimbursement claim. Cigna Global's 24/7 assistance team can recommend network providers near you in Lagos.

What is the medical evacuation cost from Lagos?▼

Emergency medical evacuation from Nigeria can cost $30,000–$65,000 depending on the situation. If you need care not available locally, Cigna Global coordinates and pays for medically necessary evacuation to the nearest appropriate facility. This is included in all Cigna Global plans — not an add-on.

Does Cigna Global cover pre-existing conditions in Lagos?▼

Coverage for pre-existing conditions varies by plan tier and the nature of the condition. When you apply, Cigna Global will request a medical history and may offer full coverage, coverage with exclusions, or a waiting period for specific conditions. For stable, well-managed conditions, many applicants receive full or near-full coverage. Complete honesty at application is required — non-disclosure voids coverage.

Can I keep my Cigna Global plan if I move from Lagos to another country?▼

Yes — portability is one of Cigna Global's most important advantages. If you move from Lagos to another city or country, your policy follows you. Update your residence country and Cigna adjusts your network and pricing accordingly. For internationally mobile professionals, this eliminates the need to obtain new health insurance every time you relocate.
