Q:I'm an International student currently under OPT extension. My employer does not provide medical/health insurance for me so I'd like to purchase one. Is there any option available for my situation? Currently I don't have any insurance except emergency coverage from government (Medi-Cal). The previous insurance I had is called "University of Idaho Student Health Insurance Program (SHIP)", which ended January 2016. My age is 27.

A:
We would recommend purchasing the Atlas Exchange. This plan would be secondary to your current Medi-Cal coverage. You may also purchase over the phone by contacting our office at (866) INSUBUY.

Q:I've some doubts about the International Student Medical Insurance I want to buy from you guys. I'm going to study in January to the US, to UCLA and I want to know if that insurance covers what the University ask me for. I will have an student visa F-1. What they need is this: Must be a medical/health insurance plan purchased in the U.S. with a U.S.-owned insurance company that is headquartered and operating in the U.S. It must not be foreign insurance with U.S. affiliates/representatives, travel insurance, or reimbursement programs of any kind. These are not acceptable. This includes reimbursement arrangements of vouchers from home governments or their U.S. based consulates. A policy showing your full name and the coverage dates and a list of the health insurance company's preferred provider network of local hospitals. Is there any insurance plan that covers this requirements?

A:
Thank you for contacting Insubuy for your insurance needs. The plans we offer in our International Student Insurance section will meet the requirements. We would recommend the ExchangeGuard plan OR Patriot Exchange Program If after you purchase your school doesn't approve the insurance then you can cancel prior to the effective date of the plan and receive a full refund.

Q:When I fill in that I am a citizen of the Netherlands, with home country US and CA as my state of residence, I get a number of possibilities for travel insurances. One of them is Patriot International. However, when I look at the Certificate Wording of that insurance, it is stated in section D on page 9 that regarding eligibility: "In order to be eligible and qualified for coverage under this insurance, this person must ..... (8) not be a citizen or have a permanent residence in the Host country."

A:
Based on Patriot International's certificate wording this plan would provide coverage to you anywhere outside of your home country (U.S.) with the exception of the country of citizenship. In order for the plan to provide coverage in the Netherlands, the citizenship return rider must be included. We would recommend a plan like the Atlas International which will base their eligibility on the home country definition. This plan defines the home country as the country where you principally reside, and receive your regular mail (page 25 of the certificate wording).

Q:Hello. Can you advise on the Safe Travel USA Comprehensive plan? In your brochure on coverage, under "Doctor Visits, X-rays, Prescriptions, Ambulance," the coverage is listed as "Usual customary charge to the selected Medical Maximum." What exactly is the cost then for a general doctor's check-up?

A:
The Safe Travels USA Comprehensive plan does cover the usual customary charge to the selected medical maximum. We do not have information on what a doctor in your are would charge for this event. You would have to reach out to the providers to see what the general cost are for this event.
