The Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS)—which was developed by the PCI Security Standards Council (PCI SSC) created by Visa, MasterCard, American Express, Discover, and JCB—is an extensive set of technical and operational standards that a company needs to follow to ensure that all companies that process, store, or transmit credit card information maintain a secure environment.
There are many stringent requirements, including but not limited to:
PCI DSS has six major objectives, 12 key requirements, 78 base requirements, and over 400 test procedures. Click here for more information.
When a business is PCI-compliant, it means that that the business reviews and follows the guidelines set forth by the credit card companies to help ensure your credit card information is protected and your personal information is secure.
I have my parents visiting US for 5 months. I want to have their insurance. My mother have issue with nerve and bone so I want to take her to specialist visit. Is there any insurance plan that covers her to take to doctor?
There is not an insurance on the market anywhere that will cover pre-existing conditions for visitors to the U.S. The plans for visitors will cover new injuries and new illnesses that manifest after the effective date of the policy. Anything to do with a pre-existing condition as you have described below would just be out of pocket expenses.
Depending on the age of your mother, some plans do have an Acute onset benefit for pre-existing conditions, however this benefit is for sudden and unexpected acute onsets of pre-existing conditions that come on without any warning, are rapidly progressing and require immediate treatment within 24 hours. This benefit is a possibility of coverage for these types of situations and not a guarantee of coverage as it would be based on the attending physicians report at the time of claim. But again, this is for urgent situations requiring immediate treatment so anything where there is time to set up an appointment and go to a doctor for treatment would not qualify under this benefit.
Please look at our Visitors Insurance section to view the plans that we offer to cover visitors here in the U.S. You will be able to see which plans also include the Acute onset benefit in the list.
