Question:

I have purchased "Atlas Travel Insurance" from you in the past, and I have been happy with it. I have two questions regarding temporary Health Insurance that you sell I am a US Citizen living in the United States. Can I purchase a "temporary" health insurance plan from you to use as a supplement to my legally required health insurance. The HMO plans available to me do not provide emergency coverage outside of my local area of residence. Can I purchase a plan from, you for an entire year that will provide coverage in those area not covered by my HMO? I have a daughter and grandson who occasionally visit me here in the US. In the past I have purchased temporary travel insurance from you for my daughter and I have been happy. But now she has a son (my grandson) who was born in the United States and therefore is a US Citizen. She and he both live in Japan, but they do occasionally visit me here. Can I purchase health insurance for her and for my US Citizen grandson for their visits to see me in the US? These would be short-term visits such as for a month or so. My concern is that some temporary policies exclude sales to US Citizens, although I am unclear whether that exclusion applies to children of foreigners or for minors. I understand that you do not write insurance to persons who are currently inside of Washington State. (I am a resident of Washington State.) But I understand that it is possible to purchase a policy when I am physically outside of Washington State. Is this still the case?

Answer:

Thank you for contacting Insubuy for your insurance needs.

The available coverage is only going to cover someone outside of their home country so we would not be able to offer you any coverage within the United States to supplement your domestic plan.

There are plans that you can purchase for your daughter and grandson to cover within the United States for a short period as they would be outside of their home country of Japan.  

For your daughter and grandson they can purchase the Patriot America plus plan for coverage in the United States.

If you need any additional assistance please contact our office.
