Q:I'm a Danish citizen, who will be in the US from late January through early August next year, where I'll be working for Google. The healthcare coverage Google offers provides basic healthcare coverage for medical, dental and vision coverage while you're here. This coverage does not meet all of the J1 visa requirements. You will still need to purchase additional travel insurance to cover the following: - Repatriation of remains in the amount of $25,000 - Expenses associated with the medical evacuation of the exchange visitor to his or her home country in the amount of $50,000 Will Insubuy insure me, or what kind of information do you need to decide that?

A:
There is a plan called Atlas Medevac that will cover you for medical evacuation and repatriation only. Please use the link for more information about this plan and to generate a quote for purchase. You can purchase this plan online but if you need any assistance please contact our office. If you need any additional assistance please contact our office.

Q:I am looking at Atlas America Plan, and saw the exclusion has a line: Corrective devices and medical appliances, including eyeglasses, contact lenses, hearing aids, hearing implants, eye refraction, visual therapy, and any examination or fitting related to these devices, dentures or dental appliances, and all vision and hearing tests and examinations. I am wondering if Atlas America Plan will cover ear/eye related disease such as ear infections, sudden tinnitus/deafness, meniere's disease, sudden vision loss?

A:
As these are short term plans they will cover any new accidents and new illness that occur after the effective date of the policy. Plans will what is medically necessary as it relates to the new accidents and new illness that occur after the effective date of the policy. Short term plans will not cover the cost of items that are considered to be elective such as eyeglasses, hearing aids etc. If you need any additional clarification please contact our office.

Q:I am travelling to the US with my family in December for 2 weeks. I am pregnant and would like to have insurance in the event that I need any healthcare interventions / appointments while I am there. I also have a 2.5 year old and would like to make sure both he and my husband are covered.

A:
Short Term medical plans are designed to cover the new accidents and new illness that occur after the effective date of the policy. Plans do not cover pre-existing condition, immunizations or maternity / delivery cost. At most some plans may cover for the complications of pregnancy up to the first 26 weeks of pregnancy. If you would please provide the visa status your family will arrive on as well as the state that you will need coverage in, we can determine what plans you eligible for and if the complications of pregnancy benefit would be available to you.
