Question:

Hi- My wife, son and I work in Uganda and are citizens of the US. 3 of our daughters are living and schooling in the US. We would like to purchase health insurance for all of us. Can you help us? We are all American citizens and maintain residency in the US but Martha, Bobby and I work overseas. It might be best if I answer like this: (me)- 59, live in Uganda, will travel to US for 6 weeks this summer. Will be fundraising for the ngo we work for but will be based in NJ. wife- 59-lives in Uganda but will be teaching in US for 2 months this summer in Philly. son- 24- works with me in Uganda but will travel for 6 weeks with me to US this summer daughter- 22-in university in US- lives in Philly. daughter- 20- in university in US- visiting us in Uganda now but will return with us to US on July 24. Attends Rowan U in S Jersey. daughter- 19- finishing culinary arts program in France and will return to US on pet 1. Will probably settle in Philly near her sisters. We have insurance from my last employer who kept me on as a consultant. Our consultancy ends on June 30 but I can continue on their policy on COBRA or get my own.

Answer:

For you, your wife, and son we would recommend the Patriot America Plus. This plan is for US citizens visiting the US for a short time. Since the three of you will be returning to Uganda then you can purchase this plan 

For your daughters that will be in Philly they can go with a short term domestic 

These are all short term options. If your daughters need long term solutions then you might need to check with their schools. 

Short term plans are not ACA compliant and do not cover pre-existing conditions, preventative care, or routine maintenance. Plans will cover any new illness or injury that occurs after the effective date.
