Q:I am a Chinese visiting scholar (J-VISA)studying at University of Massachusetts, Amherst. I wrote this letter to seek your advice about appropriate health insurance plans for a new born child in US. My wife is going to deliver a baby next month, and we are considering to buy a new insurance for him. Currently, both my wife and I are covered by the insurance of Student Advantage Health Plan provided by International Medical Group, and it will cover the most part of our maternity cost. But since it is a travel insurance, it is only effective when the insured is out of his own country, so it can not cover our new born baby when he stays in America because he will be considered as a US citizen here. So current we are seeking for insurance plans which could cover the new born baby. I am not sure whether we should buy a short term or long term plan for him as we will stay here for 3 more months then go back to China. I would be very grateful if you could provide any information on appropriate long-term or short-term health insurance plans available in Massachusetts (Zip code 01002)or give us any advice or suggestions. Thank you and best wishes.

A:
Thank you for contacting Insubuy. The only available plans for a U.S. citizen is a domestic insurance plan. There is not a plan on the market that a child at that age can enroll into on their own. You will have to find a domestic insurance option that is available for your to enroll into generally from your university to have you child insured as we do not have any options. It is recommended that you check with your university to see if you have any domestic options available through them. If you need any further assistance please feel free to contact our office.

Q:As I have read through International Student Insurance Preferred plan, I noticed that contraceptive is also covered in the outpatient section. So I assumed that all types of contraceptive is covered, Am I correct?

A:
Contraceptives would be specifically prescription drug contraceptives. IUD, and Implants are considered to be procedural and would not be covered.
