In Brunei Darussalam, national legislation mandates all registered migrant workers have health insurance. Employers are responsible to provide health insurance coverage for them. This study aims to assess the awareness and perceived knowledge on health insurance coverage among documented migrant workers in Brunei Darussalam. This study observes that a high proportion of documented migrant workers in Brunei Darussalam were of the knowledge that they had health insurance coverage. However, they lacked awareness on the type and provisions under their health insurance coverage. This study identifies considerations for future policymaking in this area, and provides an impetus for future research such as further exploring health-seeking behavior in relation to barriers to healthcare access among migrant workers, including their dependents
