New Immigrant Insurance

Question:

I am 65 years old woman, very healthy. I arrived in the United States on a K-1 visa and after filing an application I-485 for Adjustment of Status will have pending immigration status. Am I eligible for The Bridge Plan Insurance? 2. In Bridge Plan Brochure it is written - "Utilizing the PPO network ... does not guarantee that benefits will be payable or that the Provider will bill us directly". But who will pay for my treatment in, for example, Beth Israel Hospital or Brigham & Women's Hospital in Boston, if according to The Bridge Plan it covers by the policy? Thank you for your help and consideration.

Answer:

Thank you for your interest in purchasing insurance through us.

Yes. You will be eligible for bridge plan because you have filed an adjustment of status.

That's just a disclaimer. Most of the time if you go in the PPO network provider billed directly. For Dr. visit you may need to pay upfront. But for hospitalization or major expense hospital sends bill directly.

We have been selling this insurance for last 15yrs. PPO network has been added very recently. But even when there was no network for major expense hospital used to send bill directly. If you go in the ppo network there will be network negotiated rate that is the advantage of PPO network.

Bridge plan.

You can also look for International Major medical plan.
