Travel Medical Insurance

Question:

I need to take insurance for my parents who will be visiting me in US for 30 days. My father is 73, mother is 69 and sister is 49. They would be arriving in Washington State on 3/20/2018 and traveling to Michigan the 29th of March to the 2nd of April. Thereafter, they will return to Washington and return back to India on 17th of April. My father has an enlarged prostrate (not cancerous or anything, just enlarged for which he takes medicines). My mother had breast cancer in 2002, had a double mastectomy and has yearly checkups. She is currently healthy. My sister has had her uterus removed due to cancer in 2014. I would require insurance for all the three members. I would like something which I could ACTUALLY CLAIM if they had to visit the doctor or an emergency. I have seen some insurance which are very pocket friendly, but they do not really reimburse when actually a claim is done. I am looking for least hassle providers who would not provide excuses when a claim is made regards.

Answer:

All of the plans will pay for a covered illness or injury. Plans will cover any new illness or injury and some plans include the acute onset benefit. There is no plan available on the market for visitors that will cover pre-existing conditions, preventative care, or routine maintenance. Since plans for visitors have exclusions then they do have a claims process to determine if a claim is for a covered illness or injury.  

We have emailed three separate quotes for the available plans. Please see the links for additional information about the plans below. If you have additional questions or need assistance please feel free to contact our office.
