New Immigrant Insurance

Question:

My parents 83 and 82 are arriving to the US from Venezuela by mid January. They will be coming as a visitor and will be becoming US resident once they arrive in the US. They will spend in the US about 5 months. We will need to have them insured against any sudden accidents and/or sickness that may occur while in the US. I've been researching your website but not quite sure how would you classify them for quote purposes. Please advise if this coverage can be bought online.

Answer:

Thank you for contacting Insubuy for your insurance needs. If they are getting their green card when they arrive then you can review the plans in the New Immigrant section of our website.

The plans will cover any new illness or injury that occurs after the effective date and will not cover any pre-existing conditions, preventative care, or routine maintenance. 

There are two types of plans you can choose from. There are fixed coverage plans and comprehensive coverage plans. The fixed coverage plans are basic plans that pay a fixed amount according to a schedule of benefits and if anything happens the majority of the cost will come from your pocket. The comprehensive plans will pay a percentage but because of their age will have a higher deductible to meet before the plan begins to pay.

The majority of the plans can be purchased online. If you have additional questions please feel free to contact our office.
