Travel Medical Insurance

Question:

Visitor insurance travel to South America I called today and spoke to Russell on the phone regarding my interest in purchasing travel medical insurance for South America for 5-6 months. I'm a Canadian citizen and I'll be flying off from Montreal (Canada) to Peru tomorrow (July 6). I have a 5 hours layover connection in Fort Lauderdale airport in Florida and I will arrive in Lima, Peru late on July 6th. Below is the option that was quoted for me by Russell. I've since gone on your website and viewed all other options/packages and Atlas seems to be offering the most competitive package at the lowest rate, as compared to what was recommended. Can you please clarify the reasons why there is such a discrepancy in the price? Please note that I am not going to USA, as that is not a destination for me but a simple layover connection for a few hours on July 6. I would like to start my medical insurance plan from July 8-December 22 when I am already in Peru. Please let me know what other options there are, and for the best rate. I am open for further discussion in order to choose the best plan for me.
