Group Health Insurance

Better Returns from Employee Health Cover

Most companies already offer health insurance to their employees—the question is whether you’re getting maximum value from that investment. The right broker makes the difference between a basic benefit that ticks boxes and a strategic advantage that drives productivity, attracts talent, and delivers measurable returns. At Cobalt, we help international businesses turn their health insurance spend into a competitive advantage, backed by 40 years of experience maximizing returns for global workforces.

Why Companies Choose Cobalt

40 Years of International Experience

We’ve spent decades working with global businesses and understand the real challenges of managing employee benefits across multiple countries. Our founder lived and worked across Asia for years—we know these markets from personal experience, not just theory.

Responsive Service That Reflects Well on You

When your employees contact us with urgent health insurance questions or need assistance with claims, we respond within hours because we know we’re representing your company. Our quick, professional service reflects positively on you as an employer who chose quality support for their team.

Aggressive Renewal Negotiations

We take pride in securing the best possible terms at renewal time and negotiate hard to keep your costs down while maintaining or improving coverage. Your renewal isn’t just paperwork to us—it’s our opportunity to demonstrate the value we bring to your business.

Access to Markets Others Can't Reach

We constantly analyze the market and maintain access to specialist Lloyd’s markets that most brokers simply can’t offer. This gives your business coverage options and terms that aren’t available through standard channels.

“As a small consultancy, we thought comprehensive health insurance for our team would be impossible due to pre-existing conditions. Cobalt secured medical history disregarded coverage from day one for all eight employees. Their ability to find solutions for smaller companies with complex needs was remarkable.”

Managing Director, Consulting Firm, Vietnam

“Our telecoms business operates across Asia-Pacific with frequent employee travel and relocations. Cobalt designed group health coverage that adapts to our mobile workforce, with consistent access to quality healthcare across all our operating countries. Their understanding of our industry’s unique requirements was impressive.”

Regional HR Manager, Telecommunications Company, Hong Kong

“With teachers and families from over 30 countries, we needed health insurance that works globally. Cobalt designed a scheme that covers our staff whether they’re in Bangkok, on home leave, or traveling during holidays. Their understanding of international school requirements and employee mobility was exceptional.”

“When we expanded our operations to Southeast Asia and West Africa, we needed comprehensive health coverage for our international team.
