New Immigrant Insurance

Question:

Policy for h4 visa Hi, I was purchasing insurance for my wife who is holding H4 visa through Insubuy but recently when I spoke with one of your sales agent, he happened to mention that I cannot take policy for her because that's not a valid one and i should get her a policy through my company where I am getting insurance from. Is this really true? Please confirm on this. I have been trying to get some other insurance for her for the past one month but no luck. the problem in including her under my company policy is not possible because they don't cover maternity. Please advise me on this after you analyse on this case. If you say yes that she can get insurance from Insubuy, please direct me to the page about the policy that I can get for her that covers maternity. or if you say no then please let me know other alternatives. Regards

Answer:

Everyone that answers the phone call are licensed and experienced insurance agents in the U.S. Everything you are told by our rep is true. If she is eligible to buy the insurance from your employer, she has to get that. She can't buy the insurance plans listed on our web site under visitors or new immigrants section. Anyway, none of those plans cover maternity. Depending upon your state, there may be some domestic plans that may cover maternity. As she is on H4, depending upon the company, she may be eligible for some plans and not others. However, in any case, none of them will accept her if she is already pregnant. Even if she is not pregnant, no plan will cover maternity immediately. There is a waiting period of 6 months to 1 year before she conceives.
