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.
Protection America vs. ExPatriot Plus 1. My aunt is 76 years old, and will be here in the US on a visitor's visa for 6 months, with no pre-existing conditions. What plan would you recommend? 2. What is the difference between Protection America and ExPatriot Plus? 3. Per the brochure: Insured person must only satisfy 1 deductible and coinsurance within each coverage period. If I buy coverage for 3 months and renew for another 3 months, will I pay deductible only once during the entire 6 months, or once for the 1st 3 months and again for the renewed period? 4.The Brochure for Protection America refers to Passport Protection in page 8. What is this Passport Protection? 5.Eligibility Requirements for people above 65 requires attaching a copy of the Visa? Does this mean that to apply I must wait till the visa is received. How to "attach" the visa copy if I am going to apply online? 6.What is the difference between Period of Coverage and Benefit Period? (brochure has these terms) 7.Your FAQ section recommends renewals because they have certain advantages. However, will the premium be higher at renewal, if during the initial coverage period there was need to seek benefits? If the answer is yes, mow much would be the increase for? 8.Protection America has no reference to NNC (Network Negotiated Charges? Please verify this plan has NNC in it.

I would appreciate your early reply. Thanks a million!!
Here are the answers to your questions: 1. Protection America 2. Protection America has First Health PPO Network. Can be purchased for min. 5 days and can be renewed for min. 5 days at a time (or any more no. of days or months at a time). $5 renewal fee applies.
