Q:My father is in USA already. He has cad diagnosed a week back with no other prior medical condition before this diagnosis . He is on medical treatment for now . He is here until December here . Is there any plan for him to cover any sudden unexpected recurrence of this and also acute exacerbation of the condition for him which can cover these in case it happens again .

A:
Unfortunately there is no insurance which will cover the benefits you are looking for. Acute onset or sudden and unexpected recurrence of pre-ex will be covered only if occurs after the effective date of the policy. There is no policy to cover the people who are already sick. It is the best to purchase the policy before the person arrives in the US. At this time, it is too late for that purpose. Of course you can still purchase the insurance but it will cover any new medical condition injuries or accidents that occur after the effective date of the policy.

Q:I have two concerns regarding the Safe Travels USA Comprehensive plan which I am looking at primarily for the high coverage limit $25000 for acute onset of preexisting conditions: 1. Travel dates for the insured will be Oct 18 2016 inbound to USA- Jan 29 2017 arrival back home in India. But is there a 90 day limit on coverage through Safe Travels USA Comprehensive plan? 2. The Safe Travel USA brochure defines Acute Onset of a Pre-Existing Condition means a sudden and unexpected outbreak or recurrence of a Pre-Existing Condition which 1) occurs spontaneously and without advance warning either in the form of Physician recommendations or symptoms, is of short duration is rapidly progressive, and requires urgent and immediate medical care and 2) is a minimum of 48 hours after the Effective Date of the policy By that rationale does it mean that any acute onset of any symptoms that happens during the journey from India to the USA may be ineligible for coverage since they are occurring during the first 48 hours from the date of departure (i.e. effective date of policy)?

A:
No, there is not a 90 day limit on coverage. You can purchase the plan for a minimum of 5 days up to the full duration of their stay. Yes if there is an acute onset during the first 48 hours of the policy it would not be covered. If you need additional assistance please feel free to contact our office.

Q:J1/J2 medical insurance I am a postdoc in UT Health Science center at San Antonio with J1. My wife is J2. The Health Science Center's employee medical insurance plan does not meet the U.S. Department of State?s requirements for repatriation of remains and medical evacuation coverage. Consequently, J-1 employees participating in the employee medical insurance plan must purchase additional repatriation and medical evacuation coverage for the duration of their exchange visitor program in the U.S. I want to know how to only purchase additional repatriation and medical evacuation coverage.Thanks.

A:
Thank you for contacting Insubuy for your insurance needs. While there is no plan that offers just repatriation and medical evacuation we do have a basic plan that we can offer to meet those requirements at a low cost.

Q:J1 visitor insurance needed Dear, I will attend a visiting scholar program in WUSTL this September. In addition to a J-1 insurance, it is required for a confirmation which is completed by insurance provider. After I buy j-1 insurance in Inbound USA, could you do me favor to complete the confirmation form? Looking forward your reply.

Inbound USA plan meets Standard J1 visa requirements. If you need some insurance that meets all the requirements from your school you need to purchase Atlas America plan .

Q:J1 Insurance Questions I just bought health insurance from you for my J1 visa but in the PDF I received from you says this: This insurance coverage, offered by Tokio Marine HCC through HCC Medical Insurance Services, does not meet the minimum standards required by the health care reform law Im a bit confused by this, does this mean the plan isnt enough for a J1 visa If so what do I need to do Thanks

A:
Do you need insurance that meets Standard J1 visa requirements or minimum standard by Health care reform law. Atlas America plan that you have purchased meets Standard J1 visa requirements but it’s not compliant with health care reform. Please let us know if you have any further questions. Thank you for the information but I'm still unclear as to whether or not that means I must upgrade my current insurance to meet the new reform laws or if it's ok as is. For example, had I taken the Patriot Exchange Program Insurance would that be compliant with current health care reform ? Sorry about the questions I'm just a bit confused as to what this all means. The healthcare reform laws are different than the standard J1/J2 requirements. The plans we offer meet the standard J1/J2 requirements but not the healthcare reform law (ACA) plans which would be domestic plans. This would apply to you if your sponsor is requiring you to purchase that type of plan. If you need additional assistance please feel free to contact our office.
