Question:

Au pair international Insurance I am currently an Au Pair here in America and looking to stay in America for a few more days before I leave back to South Africa. My contract and insurance expires the 4th May, but my VISA only expires in June. On the 4th May, I would have been in America for 12 months. I read that the insurance needs to be effective before the 12 month period. How long before? Can I just get the insurance for the 3rd May to the 17th May (When I plan to leave the United States)? I hope my email is clear enough, that you understand. Looking forward to your response.

Answer:

Thank you for your interest in purchasing insurance through us. What insurance do you currently have? Depending on the type of insurance you currently have will determine which plan you will be eligible for. Most plans are available to purchase for the number of days needed. If you need additional assistance please feel free to contact our office.


I am covered by the Cultural Insurance Services International - which is part of the First Health Network. I have a medical coverage of $100,000 with a deductible of $50.


Since you will only need the plan for a short time before returning home I recommend the Atlas America Plan. Atlas America brochure & instant purchase link: /atlasamerica-insurance/ If you need additional assistance please feel free to contact our office.
