Answer:

We are sorry to hear that you are having claims problem. Please note that the visitors insurance plans exclude pre-existing conditions even if they occur first time and you didn't know about it. As long as the condition existed prior to the effective date of the policy, it would be excluded. Patriot America Plus covers acute onset of pre-existing conditions but it must all of sudden without any prior warning or symptoms and you must take treatment within the next 24 hours.

Thanks for your reply , I called your office and I am working with them. Thanks Bhanudas
