New Immigrant Insurance

Question:

Dear Sir/Madam, I am looking to buy medical insurance for myself and my wife. I'm not sure whether the plans I'm looking at are suitable for me, perhaps you could advise. My wife and I will be getting our US green cards in January, and will be traveling to and from the US back to our home in UK during 2020, setting ourselves up in America. We are likely to spend most of our time in the US (as required by the Green Card -- we will become residents of the US) but we will keep our house in the UK, return to the UK during the year, and keep bank accounts open back in the UK. We estimate spending around 9-10 months in the US during 2020. This will likely be in California and/or New York. We plan on making the US our home from 2021 onward, and may well take out healthcare through the US marketplace from 1st January 2021 onward, so we're looking for cover for the 11 months from 1st Feb to end of the year. We would be happy to take out a year's coverage (if the is necessary) and either cancel the final month or end up having an overlap. We have no pre-existing conditions and we would be looking to have at least $1million each coverage. We are happy to take out a $2000-$5000 deductible. My date of birth is 06/OCT/1985, my wife's is 16/OCT/1981. We are both British Citizens

Answer:

Thank you for contacting Insubuy for your insurance needs. As long as you still have a residence outside the US then you can purchase the Patriot plans from the New Immigrant section of our website

You would purchase the plans for the duration you are in the US and not for the full year. If you have any questions please feel free to contact our office.
