Q:Nonimmigrant visit to USA I am writing from China for inquiring about purchase of health insurance for nonimmigrant visit to USA. Based on an exchange program between Guizhou University and Presbyterian College, South Carolina, Guizhou University is going to send a faculty and student group (totally 18 persons) to Presbyterian College for a five-week exchange visit in January, 2009. We are going to apply for J-1 visa. In order to obtain DS-2019 form from PC (DS-2019 form is one of the documents for our visa), we are required to purchase Mandatory Health Insurance forms. So PC gave us your email. If our group can obtain visa on time, our scheduled itinerary is as follows: Departure from China on January 19, 2009 Return to China on Feb. 23, 2009 We were recommended by PC to purchase the insurance for the group. The daily fee for each person is less than $2. We need to purchase the minimum coverage required for the 35 days of Our visit. We are required to return all required materials to PC by December, 3. So we have to do it as soon as possible. Please kindly guide me how to purchase our insurance and how can we pay for it. Each person will need separate invoice for their insurance. Thank you very much for your help and looking forward to hearing from you soon.

If you want it only for 25 days, you could buy either one of them. However, it is recommended that you buy Protection America, just in case you need to extend it unexpectedly.

Q:Expatriate medical insurance - wife pregnant My family might be living in France starting around December for at least 6 months.. We're all healthy non-smokers, non -drinkers. I'm 34, my wifes 28, we have a 2 year old daughter and a son due january 20th. Please help me with information and quotes. I'm especially interested in the gold health plan and of course the fact that my wife is already pregnant.... thanks much

A:
If your wife is already pregnant, there is no plan that will cover her pregnancy. If you would like to know about the plans that exclude pregnancy, please let me know. That seems to be the case with any of the plan’s I’ve found. But can I get coverage for My family and my wife EXCLUDING the cost of delivery and any other pregnancy related costs? Could I get my wife covered for broken limbs, flu, and things of that sort? Also, does it matter whether or not my family members are citizens of the US? Yes, it matters that some persons are US citizens. If your wife is pregnant, she can't get the GMI policy (that you mentioned in your original email), even for accidents. All of you can buy the policies listed at /travel-health-insurance/

Q:Patriot America vs Protection America Dear Sir, My mother is 58 yrs old with High BP and under medication.I have decided to take comprehensive coverage for 100k for 6 monts.Which shall i go for either Patriot america or Protection America.Kindly suggest.Thank you.YOur tips are veru useful

A:
If you are going to buy at least 3 months up front (and pay for at least 3 months upfront), you should buy Patriot America. If you are going to buy month by month (or any initial duration shorter than 3 months upfront), you should buy Protection America. You can buy either of these plans online at /visitor-insurance/ Please feel free to contact us at any time if you have any other questions. Thank you for the very prompt reply. When I read the details of benefits in the given link: I could not really see the difference.But I see that the charges r more for protection america.In your experience,Could let me know which would be the best choice in terms of services and benefits.That will be greatly helpful to decide. Thanks The difference is just what I wrote in my previous email. It is about the renewability and minimum initial purchase. The service and benefits are the same as they are from the same company. Are you willing to pay at least 3 months premium upfront? If so, go for Patriot America. Otherwise, go for Protection America. Please let me know if you have any other questions.

Q:Atlas America or Patriot America? Hi, i'm a non-us citizen, currently visiting her for around 3 months, i would like to ask which insurance is better, the patriot america or the atlas america? which one you would suggest? Thanks

A:
Both are excellent plans. You can choose either one, available at https://www.insubuy.com Sorry I have some questions, I read the disclaimer part, which stated that "Lloyd's operates as an unauthorized insurer in all states of the United States except Illinois and Kentucky, where they are admitted. As such, claims under the insurance products described in this website may not be made against any state guaranty fund." Could you explain what it means? Thanks a lot That just means that Lloyds is not regulated by individual state governments in the US. That only occurs in a typical domestic health insurance company. e.g. Blue Cross Blue Shield of Texas is licensed by Department of Insurance in Texas, does business in Texas, with the citizens and residents of Texas, for using the insurance while they are in Texas. Therefore, BSBS-Texas is regulated by Texas State Government. Just in an unlikely event, for example, if BCBS-TX were to go bankrupt or something, Texas State Government may try to pay the claims from state guaranty fund. You are not a resident of any particular state in the US, and you are just visiting the US temporarily. Therefore, Lloyds does not need to be regulated by any particular state in the US. Therefore, everything is OK. I hope that answers your question. If you have any other questions, please feel free to contact us at any time. Hi, Thank you for the explanation... If I want to buy a plan for me & my 1 year old son, so I can just buy 1 plan plus dependent child, right? How the coverage would be? Is it up to policy max for us both, or for each of us? The coverage (policy maximum) is per person, the deductible is person. In Atlas America, as long as one parent is buying, one child below 9 years is free.
