1. One bad thing about the U.S. healthcare is that there is no way to tell for sure what the cost of the treatment would be, until you get the bills. All I can say that it would be a lot of cost. 2. Visitors insurance plans generally cover any new medical conditions, injuries or accidents that may occur after the effective date of the policy. There is no way for anyone to tell whether something would be covered or not as there is no way to make a decision in advance. I suggest that you read various articles in our 'Guide' section at /guide/ for further details. If you have any further questions, please feel free to contact us at any time or post them here.

You are welcome. We try to help in everyway we can, before, during and after purchase. 1. There have been no changes in Visitors Care since then. 2. That's right. 3. We always recommend comprehensive coverage plans to everyone in every situation. Fixed coverage plans only pay a small portion of actual expenses and you will have to pay the differences beyond that yourself. I hope this answers your questions. If you have any other questions, please feel free to post them here or contact us at any time. Thank you Sir for your prompt reply. 2. So is there any trip insurance that can be bought only for that day's travel? If I try to purchase the trip insurance and enter the departure and and return dates then it is very expensive and it is for the entire period. Maybe something from the airlines itself should suffice. 3. Any preference in the comprehensive coverage. I know that every plan has its own benefits but in general. I was looking at atlas america. Regards. 2. As long as for what you are looking for, just buying the visitors insurance is enough. You don't have to buy any separate travel insurance. 3. Yes, Atlas America Insurance is an excellent visitors insurance plan and highly recommended. It would be the suitable for you. If you have any other questions, please feel free to post them here or contact us at any time. Thank you again for the prompt response. just one final question. If we go for a fixed coverage plan which one do you recommend. I have shortlisted Inbound USA and Visitor Care. I know Inbound has deductible per injury/sickness which I can take care by selecting 0 deductible. Is there any difference in their PPO network? Thank you very much. Regards. Both Inbound USA and Visitors Care plan are good fixed coverage plans. Please note that, just like the deductible, you get the policy maximum (such as $50,000) as well per every incident in Inbound USA. You can buy it online at /safe-travels-elite-insurance/ There is no PPO network in either of these plans. If you have any further questions, please feel free to post them here or contact us at any time. how a doctor is considered in-network against out of network in both of these plans or is there no such concept? Thanks. Regards. There is no such concept. If there is no network, there is nothing like 'in-network' or 'out-of-network'. Fixed coverage plans are low coverage plans and pay a fixed amount for each and every procedure. You have to pay the difference. Insurance companies have no incentive to negotiate the prices as they are paying the same fixed amount anyway. That is why there is no network.

She has extensive health problems that will require care abroad. Someone like this is clearly leaving with the intent of accessing care abroad. Impossible to say what is covered or not in a unique case like this one. We don't know all the circumstances here. I am going to caution you to read the policy and the list of exclusions very carefully. Please read this specific exclusion below on the TravelGap Excursion plan, which reads: "Treatment or medical services required while traveling against the advice of a physician, while on a waiting list for a specific treatment or when traveling for the purpose of obtaining medical treatment." 1. Please read the plan description and the exclusions carefully. /travel-health-insurance/ 2. Yes. 3. This depends on the plan design selected. A deductible may apply based on the plan chosen. 4. A member can seek care from any provider overseas. Benefits are paid at 100% of reasonable fees, less the plan deductible. HTH has a small number of select doctors, hospitals and clinics under contract in Toronto. Due to Canadian law, they are not permitted to publish the actual details and profiles of the doctors. Only registered members are permitted to access the hospital list online. 5. Canada has a national health system. Contracting with private medical insurers can be a challenge for public hospitals. There is a possibility that a member will have to pay upfront if they go to a non contracted provider. 6. Home health is not covered. See the certificate for all exclusions. 7. The rate does not vary.

You can consider buying Patriot America Insurance.

It is too late now to attempt to increase the coverage limit. No insurance company would allow you to increase the limit if you believe the expenses would exceed the policy limit. Even if you try to purchase another plan, the existing condition would be considered as pre-existing condition and not covered under the new plan. No company would offer you the insurance just to immediately give away lots of money when it is already known loss. It is not true that healthy people would select lower policy maximum (or no insurance) and sick people would select higher policy maximum, as insurance does not work like that. Please note that insurance is for unforeseen risks that may occur after the effective date of the policy. That means that the health insurance is for healthy people (or for new health problems that occur after the effective date of the policy) and not for those who are already sick. Therefore, it is very important to choose the right policy maximum initially itself. I hope that answers your questions.

You can all the information about Immigrant Secure plan at /visitor-secure-insurance/ You can get instant quotes and make instant purchase right there as well. If you have any other questions, please feel free to post them here or contact us at any time. First, let me thank you for responding to a lot of questions here. I have been browsing these forums (this is my first post) and see you patiently explain/answer everything. I saw the Immigrant Secure brochure and liked many aspects of the plan. My specific questions are (sorry, some of them may be basic but I am new to this): 1. I was led to the plan through a general Google search. But I didn't see that plan listed when I searched insubuy for visitor insurance plans. I also didn't see this plan discussed much on the inubuy forum. Just curious if it was not popular or has some deficiency that I don't see. 2. I understand it is not a comprehensive plan but a fixed coverage plan. Is the plan part of any PPO network, where if I go to an in-network doctor/hospital, I will be responsible for only the contracted rate (less whatever insurance pays)? If so, can we do direct billing to the insurer? I didn't see the PPO mentioned specifically in their brochure, unless I missed something. What PPO networks are they part of, if any? 3. I assume Immigrant Secure plan will pay (subject to the deductible, plan max., covered benefit etc.) even if you visit an out of network doctor/facility, correct? Just that there will not be any contracted rate. 4. Does insubuy sell this policy? Is insubuy only an insurance agent/broker or does it perform any plan administration (for any plan, not just immigrant secure)? 5. One of the main difference I see between a comprehensive plan and a fixed coverage plan is the limited benefits for each incident and per incident deductible for fixed coverage plans. If the benefit limits are not too low (e.g. Plan D in Immigrant Secure) and one can afford to pay the per incident deductible (there is the $0 deductible option as well), my thinking is, these plans would likely cover the rest (if the limits are not too low). Is this correct thinking or am I missing something? 6. Finally, I wanted to see if anyone has personal experience with this plan. Particularly, if they have made a claim and got paid. As you noted in another post, we mainly hear (complaints) from folks who had issues with a plan but not always from folks when things go well. But the real test would be to hear from folks who actually made large claims on their policy and got paid as per the plan schedule. Thanks. You are welcome. I would be glad to answer all of your questions. 1. There is no hidden deficiency or catch in the plan that you already don't see in the public documents available on our web site. 2. Please look at /visitor-secure-insurance/ It mentions that it participates in First Health/PHCS/CMN PPO networks. There will be contracted rates in PPO network and most providers in the network will directly bill. 3. There will be no network negotiated rates out of network. The insurance will pay according to the schedule of benefits for all eligible medical expenses. 4. We certainly sell Immigrant Secure policy. We offer all major visitors insurance plans available in the U.S. market. The definition of administration can vary to different people. You can contact us for understanding the details of the plans, for buying it and also for most post sale related administrative tasks for all the plans we sell. (Such as you didn't get the cards, need help in searching the Dr, renewal, cancellation, corrections etc.) However, the claims are handled by HCCMIS. Therefore, you can contact us for anything other than the claims related routine questions. Even for claims, you can always contact us if you run into any problems or need any help. 5. If the fixed coverage plans were enough, there would be no reason for anyone to pay more money and buy comprehensive coverage plans. And comprehensive coverage plans would not even exist. 6. In such cases, no news is good news. If someone has good experience and they never report, we really have no way to know what happened. New customers (and we) would like to know about the positive experiences, but most current customers simply don't care to report good experiences. I am sorry but that is the reality. I welcome anyone who had any positive experience with any plan to post in detail. I hope this answers your questions. If you have any further questions, please feel free to contact us at any time or post them here.
