Q:Visitor Insurance for my Mother Hi, I am shopping for my mother's insurance ,She is 70 years old and I am looking to take a comprehensive coverage. There are a lot of companies out there so it is difficult to make a choice , from customer service and claim settlement point of view which is the best one out there . All your help is much appreciated . Thanks Mandy

A:
Thank you for your interest in purchasing visitors insurance for your mother. In comprehensive coverage plans, for the age 70 and above, the main decision factor would be whether you would like to purchase $50,000 policy max or $100,000 policy max. If you have a preference for that, once you let us know, I can guide you appropriately. I am looking to get a comprehensive insurance for $100,000 In that case, you can consider purchasing Patriot Platinum America Insurance. Thanks for responding . Why is this a recommended Insurance as opposed to Atlas ? Also are there benefits of buying it from Insubuy rather than from a any other web site? Thanks For 70+, Atlas America only provides the maximum of $50,000 and you asked for $100,000. The price is the same no matter where you buy the insurance from. The difference is in the service. Look at /visitors-medical-insurance/ We have the largest portfolio of visitors insurance available in the U.S. market. We as a broker work for you and not for any insurance company. Most places are closed at this time of the day, but we are immediately answering your questions. Now, that is service. We help you not only during buying the insurance, but after buying, if you have any claims problem, we provide help as well. If you have any other questions, please feel free to contact us at any time. Atlas America on paper seems to be a very solid option. I myself have purchased it 3 times. However Insurance is only good when you have to use it. Unfortunately i had a claim of $175 ones. With $100 deductible i only have a claim of $75. They took more than 6 months with more than 20 emails and phone calls. Customer service was absolutely pathetic. Felt like their operations is running from a Garage. BTW, this was for a doctor office visit who is part of their network and did direct billing. Atlas/HCC Medical did not pay and my account went for collection for just $75. This is ridiculous. I am yet to see posting where people have been happy with their claim system.

Q:Claim payment for IMG Visitors Care Hi, I have purchased an IMG Visitors Care insurance for my mom who is visiting the US just now. Last week she developed a skin rash (eczema) due to the cold/dry weather here. I took her to see a Dr who prescribed some lotions for her. She is better now (TG!). I have the Pharmacy receipts, etc and I am ready to submit a claim form. I have a questions that I need your help with: The insurance is obviously in my mom's name, but I paid for the medicines. I am assuming that the payment is made via a check? When I fill in the claim form, will the check be made out in her name? She does not have a bank account here. Is there a way to instruct the insurance company to make the check out to me? How do we cash the check without a bank account? Anyone with similar experience? Thanks Cali

A:
What you are describing is very normal and frequent when children invite their parents to visit them. Wherever you find any space, please write that the check should be made payable to you. And it will be taken care of.

Q:Atlas insurance. Hello, I couple questions for Atlas America insurance. 1. If i take Atlas insurance month to month, will there be issue with renewal, if i have claim in between. And also how much will be renewal fee and will the rate increase, if there is claim. 2. The reason, i asked the above question is, My parents will be visiting to canada for 4 weeks from here (USA). I got feeling from your website is if we use excluding America, the insurance is premium is less. 3. What is the main difference between Atlas and Patriot (IMG) 4. Do you recommend any other insurance just for canada. Thanks for help. Let me know, as i need to buy..

A:
Are they traveling to the U.S. at all? Yes they are comming to Missouri, USA. total trip will be for 70days. Out of which 4 weeks will be spent in Canada. 1. Even if you had a claim in the previous duration, you can still certainly extend Atlas America as it is not a conditional extension based on whether you had a claim or not. 2. Whenever you extend the insurance, there is a $5 extension fee. The rates will not increase just because you are extending. However, if the person is now in the new age group (such as 50-59 to 60-64 or to 65-69 etc.), the charges would be higher. Also, if the rates for everyone has changed, then you would be charged the most current rates. However, the rates typically change around once a year. Please note that if any part of the trip includes the U.S., you have to choose 'Including USA'. 3. Look at #1. Patriot America must be purchased for a minimum of 3 months in order to be able to renew in future, while Atlas America can be renewed one by month. Co-insurance in USA: Atlas America - In network and directly billed, 100% to policy max. Otherwise, 80/20 to first $5,000 and then next 100% to policy max. Patriot America - In network, 90/10 to $5,00 and then 100% to policy max. Otherwise, 80/20 to first $5,000 and then next 100% to policy max. Co-insurance in Canada: Atlas America - 100% to policy max. Patriot America - 80/20 to first $5,000 and then next 100% to policy max. Acute onset of pre-existing conditions: Atlas America - Up to $15,000 for people below age 70. Patriot America - None Therefore, in your situation, Altas America would work out to be better. And you can purchase it online at /atlasamerica-insurance/
