Question:

I just purchased "Atlas America" insurance through Insubuy for one of my parents (71 years old) who will be visiting me in the US shortly. The coverage is for $100K with a $2500 deductible. In addition to the above, I am also considering purchase of "Patriot Platinum Plus" for the same parent with $100K coverage and $10,000 deductible. I wanted to understand how to use the two insurance coverages together in case of an emergency incident. I have the following specific questions: - Which of the above insurance should I use first (assuming that the hospital used is part of the First Health Network)? - Does the insurance that I use second, cover the deductible of the insurance that was used first?

Answer:

It is not recommended that you purchase the Patriot Platinum Plus plan as you would then have 2 secondary insurance plans and this can get very cumbersome when it comes time for claims. 

It is recommended that you purchase a plan called Safe Travels USAas this plan will act as a primary insurance and will coordinate benefits with the Atlas America plan that you have purchased.

In purchasing the Safe Travel USA plan with a $50K maximum it will be less expensive and you will have a Primary and a Secondary plan rather than 2 secondary plans.
