Travel Medical Insurance

Question:

My parents are traveling to USA and they do have pre-existing physical conditions. They are aged 78/76 . I would like to buy medical insurance covering the most . However on the pre-existing conditions the insurance says if the person is declared fit to travel then the insurance shall cover upto some. I would like to know how to determine if my parents are declared fit. ALso would like to know which insurance is the best for my parents, if someone can share their experience that would be great.

Answer:

The Visitors Protect plan is the only plan that provides some pre-exsiting coverage for unexpected issues.

The Fit to Travel document would be obtained from their doctors in their home country before travel.


The plan must be purchased before departure from home country and would need to be purchased for the full

duration of their stay as it is not extendable.  The plan has a minimum purchase duration of 90 days and that first 

90 days would not be refundable. Only any time purchased beyond that 90 days if no claims have been filed since the start of the

policy would be eligible for a pro-rated refund minus a $50 cancellation fee.
