Question:

Short term plan mountaineering I have a question about your Patriot America coverage. For a non-citizen who has resided in the US for more than six months, the application asks if they have held international coverage. How is that defined? More specifically, do you offer any insurance options suitable for a non-citizen (on a student visa) who has resided in the US (NY) for more than six months, and holds normal (ACA-compliant) American medical insurance but needs adventure/extreme sports coverage?

Answer:

Thank you for contacting Insubuy for your insurance needs. Unfortunately, the Patriot America Plan would not be available if you have had or currently have a domestic insurance plan. We would be more than happy to look into plan options available for your if you would like to provide a little more information about what you are needing coverage for.

STM PPO plan Brochure, instant purchase link, /short-term-health-insurance/ The standard hazardous sports rider only provide coverage for mountaineer up to 10,000 ft. We can asked for special terms from underwriters to include: Coverage for mountaineering up to 4,300 meters. Coverage excludes frost bite.
