Question:

We are interested in the Sate Travels USA Comprehensive policy $255.00 I would just like to clarify that I am understanding this wording correctly before we purchase this cover. 1. My mom (84 at the time of travel) will be cover from the minute she leaves her home country South Africa travels to the USA and Canada and until she returns back to her home country ? 2. As per my earlier mail I confirmed that my mother does take medication for Hypertension and is a type 2 diabetic. These two conditions are fully under control. Does the wording "Acute onset of a Pre-existing condition" mean that should she suffer a sudden heart she will be cover up to $15000.00 or should she have a sugar attack she will be cover up to $15000.00. |So basically you will only be cover for one of your two conditions should they occur. Hopefully one goes on a holiday and nothing happens but at this age one must take all the necessary steps to ensure that all is in order just in case. Please can you confirm if I am understanding this correctly.

Answer:

To answer your questions: 

1. Yes, she will be covered from the time she leaves her home country to the time she returns.

2. The Acute onset benefit is $25,000 for her age unless the acute onset is related to cardiac disease or condition then the benefit is reduced to $15,000. To be covered under the Acute onset benefit the situation has to meet the definition of an acute onset based on the certificate wording.
