Q:J1 insurance comparison hi, i need an insurance plan that meets the J1 visa requirements. i have checked the list of the insurance palns you suggest and the inbound Usa seems to be the most attractive, because it is cheap, you can set the deductible to zero and it seems to have no co-insurance. what are the difference with for example the patriot exchange program or the student secure? can you give me examples of some scenario in which the inbound usa it is not good? Thank you

A:
Inbound USA is a fixed coverage plan. It only pays a fixed amount for each and every procedure and you pay the difference. Please read /visitors-insurance/ /visitors-insurance-risks-of-purchasing-fixed-coverage/

Q:Insurance inquiry I have a question please, Iam from Egypt and will travel to USA after 4 months and I need personal health insurance for about 6 months, but I will go to more than one state, will this insurance cover these states ( PA, TX, KY )? and they are asking about the state in the application, which state shall I mention ? they are asking about the address there, why ? I don't have there so far as I will travel after a while. will I a proof of this insurance after purchasing ? and how ? - - - Updated - - - and which company will be the best for me ?

A:
Insurance is for visitors to USA is meant to cover everywhere in the US, and is not specific to any particular state. Some states have specific rules for purchasing if you are already physically present in that state or if you are going to put that state as the mailing address. Please look at Atlas America at /atlasamerica-insurance/ In that plan, you can put any address you like, whether it is in the US or in Egypt or anywhere else. As soon as you make a purchase, you will get the insurance ID card and the policy in the email. It will also be sent by the postal mail to the mailing address you specified on the next business day. As the postal mail is more reliable in the US compared to some other countries, it is advisable to put the US address but you can put any address you like.

Currently he is undergoing chemotherapy and radiotherapy in AIIMS, India, for last 10 months. From next month for two years, he will be under 'Maintenance' period.

Q:Insurance claim is not being processed Hi, I had Atlas America Health insurance. I visited a Urgent care center on 5/22/2014. As I am not aware that i have to send a pre-auth form after the treatment date and i didn't receive any email asking about it from the insurance company, i didn't send the pre-auth form immediately to the insurance company. The insurance company has closed the claim stating the same reason after 3 months. After i learnt the reason from the hospital, i have sent the pre-auth form to the insurance company multiple times and i have also received the confirmation from them through email. I have called the company thrice to request them to reopen the claim. They have said that they are going to put a request and my claim will be reopened in 3-4 days. But every time I call them they say the same old story that it has not been reopened and they will reopen it in 3-4 days. Despite my continuous efforts, the claim has never been reopened and i had to pay the amount to the hospital. Please let me know what is it that i could do to make it processed. Thanks, Vinay

A:

Q:Transportation to home Country? I have been working in the US for nearly 4 years now. So i am a danish citizen but a us resident since i am working here. I have no family in the US so my parents are worried that if i should die or get severely sick/not able to work anymore and i would need a medical transport back to Denmark that they would not be able to afford it. I already have medical insurance through my employer and it even covers transportation back to my home country - but they consider that the US since i live here. I was reading through some of the policies and it seems like the IMG policies states you can have 2 home countries if you have a passport from another country but i don't know if you can just decide then where you live? Or does anybody know if any policies that will pay for transportation back to Denmark? It can be a combined travel insurance or a separate insurance. So far my problm has been everybody consider the us my home country since i work here even thought i consider Denmark my homecountry due to my family being there. Any suggestions? Thanks

A:
For the Emergency Medical Evacuation Benefit and or the Return of Mortal Remains, these benefits for a Non-US Citizen would be to the home country (there can only be 1 Home country) as indicated/listed by the insured on the application as explained on page 21 of the Patriot America Certificate Wording. Thus if Denmark is listed on the application as the home country, these benefits would be to Denmark. You can purchase Patriot America online at /patriot-america-lite-insurance/

Q:Need Help on Insurance claim Hello Insubuy Team, I bought Insubuy-Seven Corners insurance for my father-in-law (69 years old) visiting USA. He arrived here on May 29th, 2014 and he fell sick on May 30th. I took him to a clinic first and his condition deteriorated drastically and was taken to emergency as per the doctor. He was treated for Urinary Track Infection and Sepsis and we got a total bill of over 25k. He never had this issue anytime in the past but the insurance denied it stating that it is a pre-existing condition. This infection is something that can happen to anybody/anytime, even as per the doctor. Please help us in appealing again and reconsider the situation. Thanks Vijay

A:
I am sorry to hear that you are having problems with your claim. Please contact our office so that we can discuss and determine the next course of action. You would need to send us all of his medical records from his treatment in the US. And also the authorization from your father-in-law which allows us to discuss his specific claim with Seven Corners. And I can send you that privacy release form once you contact us.
