When it comes to protecting  individuals who are being\u00a0  relocated overseas, health care is a major  consideration. While certain  parts of the world have health standards  that are every bit as good as  \u2013 and possibly better than \u2013 they are in  the US, there are some  decidedly dodgy places, health-wise, where one  can wind up, too.

While some  plans cover  \u2018bells and whistles\u2019 options \u2013 like flying employees home  in required \u2013  they won\u2019t of necessity cover routine examinations and  check-ups.
