He is 55 yrs old. If I take month insurance, can I extend afterwards ? or If I take 2 months , can i get refund if he leaves earlier than expected ? will this insurance covers during travel also ? Which insurance recommanded ? Regards Venu

Answer:

You can consider purchasing Atlas America Insurance, as long as you buy before he comes to NY. Yes, you can extend it afterwords. If you want to cancel earlier, you can do so and get the refund for unused portion minus $25 cancellation fee, as long as no claims have been submitted since the original effective date. As long as you put the effective date one day in advance of the actual travel date, it will cover during travel also. If you have any other questions, please feel free to contact us at any time.


Atlas America on paper seems to be a very solid option. I myself have purchased it 3 times. However Insurance is only good when you have to use it. Unfortunately i had a claim of $175 ones. With $100 deductible i only have a claim of $75. They took more than 6 months with more than 20 emails and phone calls. Customer service was absolutely pathetic. Felt like their operations is running from a Garage. BTW, this was for a doctor office visit who is part of their network and did direct billing. Atlas/HCC Medical did not pay and my account went for collection for just $75. This is ridiculous. I am yet to see posting where people have been happy with their claim system.
