Health insurance for former resident returning after 30 year absence Hello everyone, I have searched the Internet and can't find an answers to the following problem. I used to be a permanent resident in the U.S. and left approx 30 years ago to live in my home country. Due to the long absence my GC had expired. My son has dual citizenship and we would like to return to the U.S. I would apply for a new green card and my son would now sign an Affidavit of support for me. Returning to the U.S. for me would only make sense if I can be sure I will be able to obtain insurance coverage. I will be 65 next year, have worked in the U.S. and receive SS from there. I do not quite fulfil the mandatory 40 quarters to receive Medicare, unfortunately I only fulfilled 35 quarters. Would I be able to buy into the Medicare program Plan A and subsequent other available plans? How much would this cost me? Also, by now I havesome health issues (one of them a chronic disease). Could this in itself be a reason to be declined medical coverage by Medicare? I would greatly appreciate it if you help me find the answers I need
You can purchase the Bridge Plan. It is meant for the people who are waiting for Medicare eligibility. /bridge-plan-insurance/ It will not cover any pre-existing conditions. Please read /new-immigrants-medical-insurance-plans/ It will give you good idea of the options you have (actually you don't have.) If you have any further questions about Medicare, I request you to contact the Social Security Administration at ssa.gov Please let us know if you have any other questions.
