Question:

Pre-existing conditions USA visitor I'm looking for medical insurance for my relative who will land in US on March 19th and leave on June 5th, 2016. She will not be travelling to any other country. She will be 69 when policy becomes effective and will turn 70 on April 20th. She had open heart surgery in 2013 and takes medications since. She had cataract surgery in 2014 and takes eye drops. Based on information I looked at, any of US plan’s don’t cover or minimally cover anything related to pre-existing conditions. Please let me know, if Atlas America will be a good plan for her. Also, can it work in conjunction with a plan, if we buy from India, currently looking at United India insurance who work through APRIL USA.

Answer:

Thank you for contacting Insubuy for your insurance needs. The Atlas America plan would be a wonderful plan for her situation. This plan offers coverage for an acute onset of a pre-exiting condition. This will assist with expenses related to life threatening emergency that happens related to pre-existing conditions. Please use the link listed below for more information about the acute onset of a pre-existing condition. Acute Onset Coverage: /visitor-insurance-acute-onset-of-pre-existing-conditions/ As she will be 69 at the start of the plan the benefits will remain the same when she turns 70 during her stay. This plan will pay secondary to any other payable insurance that is available during the validity of this plan. If you have any questions please feel free to contact our office.

Thanks for the quick response. Would it be possible for this plan to be primary and one bought in India be secondary. Also, do you know, how dependable is a plan bought in India especially with United India Thru APRIL USA?


Thank you for contacting Insubuy. These plans will always pay secondary to any other insurance. We are not very familiar with this particular company specifically. Please see the link listed below to a FAQ about purchasing from India vs the U.S.. Purchasing from India vs U.S comparison: /visitors-insurance-usa-india-comparison/


In that case, I probably need to go for one of the plans. If I decide to buy, what would be the process, Would I pay online, if so, when would I receive something back that can be used for her to receive care, in case such situation arises. She’ll be reaching here on 3/19 morning.
