Q:I will be visiting Hawaii in August for 14 days and would like some advise on policies available to cover me as I had a mild heart attack in 2010 when they inserted 2 stents and have had no problems since. I was also diagnosed with crohns disease in 2009 but have had no hospital admittance or bowel obstruction issues and both these conditions are well controlled with current medications. I travel on a British passport but reside in New Zealand and am 61 years old at present ( birthday due in 15 days) and have never smoked. If you can also advise what you would consider a policy cover amount required should I need hospital treatment as I am unaware of the average costs of medical treatment in the USA but have heard it can be expensive.

A:
We have many plans for visitors to the US where you can enter the required information and see all the available plans. I would recommend a plan called Atlas America. Since there are no plans on the market that will cover a pre-existing condition, the Atlas America plan will cover an Acute Onset of a pre-existing condition. More information can be found here regarding the Acute Onset benefit. Please feel free to contact our office if you would like additional information or have any additional questions.

Q:I am interested in getting an insurance that could cover as much maternity as possible, my situation is the following: I do NOT have US nationality. I have Spain nationality (Europe) where I currently reside and live. I would be interested to have a maternity covered insurance in the US so if I get pregnant I could go on my 7th month of my pregnancy, as a visitor/tourist to the US, where I have family, to stay and wait to deliver my baby over there. I currently have an insurance called IMG which covered my first pregnancy in the US and at the moment I am looking at other insurance options before I renew my current one. 1. Which plan will I be eligible for my situation (Spain nationality delivering in the US as a visitor) that would covers the most for maternity in the US? 2. How much do you cover for maternity? 3. Do I have to add up any rider or does the insurance itself already include maternity? 4. What are the deductible amounts? 5. Is there a maternity waiting period? what is it? 6. Does the plan include also any checkups, ultrasounds, appointments, lactation or any other tests related etc before AND after the baby delivery? 7. Does the plan include c-sections or any other complications that the delivery or pregnancy may have? 8. Does the plan include any emergencies (if necessary) for the baby after the birth? For how many days/weeks? 9. What about a pediatrician for the baby first weeks of live? Would that be covered? 10. Does my previous current insurance maternity expenses from my first baby add up and count in your plans or do I start as a right new member with you and have the full amount you offer covered? 11. Which hospitals and clinics does your maternity plan cover in the US?

A:
Unfortunately, there is no plan that exist to cover maternity for a visitor in the United States. This will be and expense that will be paid for completely out of pocket.
