Question:

Visitor Insurance For Mother Hi, My mother is 50 yrs old and touch wood is very healthy and never requires to visit any doctors. She would coming to visit me in Des Plaines, IL end of this month. I have already looked up on various options that are available. I was thinking to go for fixed plan coverage. Could you please let me know any drawbacks apart from the limited limit set by the insurance providers?

Answer:

Fixed coverage plans provide only a limited benefits plan. Therefore, you will have to pay the difference yourself, no matter how high it is. If the fixed coverage plans were enough, there would be no reason for the comprehensive plans to exist as no one would buy them at 2 to 3 times higher price. Please note that the probability of someone getting into a new medical condition is the same for a given age, whether healthy or not, whether you buy fixed or comprehensive or nothing. However, when something happens, how much you are covered is the difference. Therefore, we recommend you to buy the comprehensive coverage plans. At the end, it is your decision as long as you understand both the types of plans and make an educated decision. If you have any other questions, please feel free to contact us at any time or post them here.
