Q:Question regarding the Bridge plan Thank you for taking the time to talk to me this morning. As you suggested, I downloaded the application form for the Bridge plan. I had a few questions regarding the entries We expect to be eligible for Medicare only in Aug 2014 (i.e., 1 year from now for the green card, 5 years of residency, and then 1 more year for naturalization). Is this okay Period of insurance required Can I set this to 3 months, and have it be renewable for every quarter as required I&#8217d like insurance coverage to begin as soon as possible. Should I say Commencing 01252008, and then check off Part A & B I&#8217d like to choose Each Cause and Deductible of 2500. This would make the quarterly premium $842, right Thanks,

A:
1. Yes. 2. Write 12 months. You can still pay quarterly. 3. That's fine. Yes, you check off 'Part A & B'. 4. Right. That means, $2,500 per every sickness. Thanks for the quick reply. Just one remaining question: For question 2 below, will I be liable for the payment for the whole year if my parents, for any reason, decide not to apply for residency? I.e., can I simply cancel the policy at any time for any reason? will I be liable for the payment for the whole year if my parents, for any reason, decide not to apply for residency? >>>>As long as there are not claims submitted, you will get pro-rated refund if you cancel in the middle.

Q:Brige plan questions Hi, I am looking at the bridge plan, if my parents decide to immigrate to the US as permanent residents. 1) Since their age is 73, I understand the $100k max limit applies. Is that per injury?, lifetime maximum? yearly maximum ? 2) there is left table which says per cause; and the right table says "all cause" what is the difference? 3) Can i buy any other supplemental insurance to supplement this?

A:
1. Lifetime policy maximum. 2. "per cause" deductible means that you have to pay the specified deductible once per every injury/illness. "all cause" deductible means it is annual deductible. You have to pay that only once no matter how many times you use the insurance in one year. I recommend this. 3. No. You can buy the bridge plan at /new-immigrants-health-insurance/ Please let me know if you have any other questions Thanks for the quick response. I understand this plan does not cover preexisting conditions. How is this evaluated ? 1) Qtn: Is "pre exisiting condition" narrowly defined or broadly defined 2) e.g. my father has diabetes. if he develops glaucoma or high blood pressure (which he doesnt have) as a result of diabetes If Narrowly defined: it should cover if broadly defined: since this is a consequence of diabetes at some level, it cant be covered 1. Broadly defined. It is determined by the insurance company's claim department when claim occurs. 2. Not covered. If anything occurs because of pre-existing condition, that is also pre-existing condition. Thanks, it seems to be bad idea to bring senior parents here! Exactly. Interesting. 1. Are the travel insurances better (on a visitor visa)? 2. or as bad or worse. (if they visit for 1 or 2 months.) Or are we just counting on no mishaps (as it is a short time span) ? They work the same way. However, if they are here for a short period, the risk is lower. That's it.

Q:Medical insurance for Canadian citizen living in Florida I have read your insurance forum in immhelp.com and found it very helpful in general. I have a friend who is a Canadian citizen living in Florida for more than a year now. Officially he is out of status with the US immigration since Canadian visiting the US should not stay more than 6 months. Anyway, he is thinking of purchasing a temporary medical insurance (1-2 years max) to cover his stay in Florida. Is he eligible to purchase any of the insurance listed in your website? From you have described, it seems Protections America is a good plan. Is he eligible? If not, which one would you recommend for a person in his situation? Thank you! Sincerely,

A:
He is not eligible for Protection America. He can buy Inbound Immigrant at /international-major-medical-insurance/
