Travel Medical Insurance

Question:

Request for International Supplemental Coverage Dear Sir \ Madame, My boss is looking for an international supplemental coverage. In USA, he has Medicare that fully covers him in US but he would like to have an international coverage as well. I would appreciate if you offer International Supplemental coverage for my boss.

Answer:

Thank you for your interest in purchasing insurance through us. We have many plans that provide him coverage outside USA. But before we suggest any plan would like to his age, home country and how long he needs coverage. Once, we get these information will be glad to suggest you some insurance plan accordingly. Meantime, You can visit our website at, /travel-health-insurance/ Please enter appropriate criteria. You will find many plans and you can also compare them side by side. If you have any further questions feel free to contact us.


Date of birth 23 Sep 1949 Home country: USA Length of coverage: 1year He used to have corporate insurance plan with Aetna global but now we are looking for private international insurance for him.


Thank you for your quick reply. You can purchase Patriot International plan for him. Patriot International brochure, instant purchase and other useful information, /patriot-international-lite-insurance/ You can compare these plans at, /travel-health-insurance/ If you have any further questions feel free to contact us.


I requested more information from my boss on what he wants to have in terms of international insurance. Below is his email re international insurance. "Ideally, the non-USA coverage should provide the same benefits as Aetna does globally. Some examples: broad coverage of doctor visits, hospitalization, lab analysis and maybe prescription drugs. Annual deductible not to exceed, say, $2,000 and co-pay, if any not to exceed 20% above the deductible. Hospitalization (semi private room) would be 100% covered although the extra cost of a private room would be covered by me." I will very much appreciate your advice.


The plans previously mentioned are not going to provide the same benefits as Aetna does as far as pre-existing conditions are concerned. If that type of coverage is what you are looking for then we have a plan called Voyager Choice. The Voyager Choice plan is limited to 180 days per trip so is not going to provide the duration you are requesting. The plans previously offered will provide coverage for any new illness or injury that occur after the effective date and are available for the duration you are requesting. Since you choose the deductible then that is not a factor and the plans will then pay 100%. If you need additional assistance please feel free to contact our office.
