If you are a world traveler covered by Medicare or by a domestic U.S. plan offered by your employer – or if you have no immediate plans to return to the U.S., Global Citizen EXP is tailored to your needs. By trimming away coverage for health services in the U.S. and keeping the comprehensive Global Citizen benefits outside the U.S., the EXP plan delivers outstanding value and service

Global Citizen EXP functions as a primary health insurance plan outside the U.S., filling the gaps left by Medicare and domestic U.S. plans or delivering precisely the coverage an expatriate needs

The main benefit is “continuation of coverage” without exclusions.
HTH complies with all US State regulations, unlike many US companies selling international coverage.

While HTH reserves the right to be selective and may reject your application, they can provide a “seamless” transition from US policies (BC&BS, United HealthCare, Kaiser etc.) to an HTH policy. Here is the info about the Global Citizen Plan that I like:
