Question:

Health insurance for visitors to USA: Pre-Existing Conditions I will be visiting Hawaii in August for 14 days and would like some advise on policies available to cover me as I had a mild heart attack in 2010 when they inserted 2 stents and have had no problems since. I was also diagnosed with crohns disease in 2009 but have had no hospital admittance or bowel obstruction issues and both these conditions are well controlled with current medications. I travel on a British passport but reside in New Zealand and am 61 years old at present ( birthday due in 15 days) and have never smoked. If you can also advise what you would consider a policy cover amount required should I need hospital treatment as I am unaware of the average costs of medical treatment in the USA but have heard it can be expensive Thanks for your time

Answer:

We have many plans for visitors to the US at www.insubuy.com where you can enter the required information and see all the available plans. I would recommend a plan called Atlas America. Since there are no plans on the market that will cover a pre-existing condition, the Atlas America plan will cover an Acute Onset of a pre-existing condition. Here is the brochure and instant purchase link for the Atlas America plan: /atlasamerica-insurance/ More information can be found here regarding the Acute Onset benefit: /visitor-insurance-acute-onset-of-pre-existing-conditions/ Please feel free to contact our office if you would like additional information or have any additional questions.
