Q:Protection America vs WorldMed for new immigrants My mom is 59 and just arrived in US. She is generally healthy and has no serious illnesses. She is going to become Permanent Resident, so I want to get a long term and stick to it for 3+ yrs to get over the preexising hurdle. 1. Which one is better, I am considering Protection America vs. WorldMed 2. Should I chose $100 or $500K If I choose $100K and then change to $500K, will it be considered new policy and hence the clock starts all over again for preexising 3. If I go from $2500 to $1000 deductible, will it be treated as a new policy Thanks,

A:
1. Green card holders are not eligible to purchase WorldMed. Therefore, Protection America is a clear choice. 2. Either one is fine. Your understanding is correct. 3. Yes. Thanks for the quick reply. If I buy 12 months Protection America from your website can it be cancelled? Does the rate change once the policy holder becomes 60? 1. Look at the cancellation rules at /myaccount/ 2. Yes, only when you renew after turning 60. Final questions, I promise :) 1. Can my mom continue Protection America policy after she gets Green Card and SSN or will I have to apply for new policy again? 2. Can I get a policy for 12 months, but pay monthly? 1. Yes, she can continue until she is US citizen or 3 years, whichever comes first. 2. Buying and paying is one and same thing. If you want to buy for 12 months, you pay for 12 months upfront. If you want to pay monthly, buy for 1 month and renew monthly, at no extra charge. Renewal link is available at /myaccount/. If I am buying long-term, is Patriot America better option as it is cheaper with same coverages? Few differences: Patriot America is 2 years vs. Protection America is 3 years. Patriot America is minimum 3 months initially while Protection America can be renewed monthly. Choose one accordingly. I bought Patriot America from your website for 1 yr. Why can't buy longer than 12 months? Is it considered new policy after 3 yrs or can I continue to renew on the policy? Thanks, 1. That's the rule. 2. Yes, new policy after 2 years in Patriot America. If it is a new policy after 2 yrs, then I assume it resets the preexisting conditions clock. There is no way to overcome that? You are right. There is no way. Only other option is to buy the bridge plan, available for 5 years. /new-immigrants-health-insurance/

Q:Insurance just for dependent on F2 Hi, I am a international student from China, who has my wife as dependant with Visa F2. I want to buy the plan A in visitor medical insurance-USA for her. I wonder if it is suitable for her. She is 26 years old, healthy. We have no children now. Additionally, if we want to give birth to our children here, does this insurance cover the medical expense for that?(Please also give me the answer if we don't have children here.) Thanks

A:
Please let me know the name of the insurance product you are referring to. 'Plan A' exists in many products and that does not give us any information. Hi, Thanks for your instant reply. Below is the website: /visit-usa-insurance/ I have Two questions: 1.In the table of monthly premiums, there are three columns(Deductible per police period) for plan A. What is the mean for that because I saw the price difference for them? 2. How to pay the money? One time or monthly(I think I will buy it for one year at least)? Eligibility: You can buy Visit USA-Healthcare just for your wife, if you like. Or for both of you. Deductible: Deductible is the amount you have to pay once before insurance company pays anything. Payment: You have to pay all at once, as Visit USA-Healthcare is not renewable. You can pay with the credit card. If you buy for one month, and if you need it again next month, you will have to repurchase it. And your deductible, coinsurance and pre-existing conditions clause will start all over again. Maternity: It does not cover any maternity related expenses. Please let me know if you have any other questions. Hi, could you give me some advise if we plan to have our babies? Which insurance could cover my wife's both regular medical healthcare fees and maternity related expenses? Thank you I am not aware of any such insurance products that would cover maternity on J2 visa.

Q:about the patriot exchange program standard Hello, I am a new J1 visitor scholar from China and I need to buy the health insurance. I think the patriot exchange program standard may be suitable for me but I have some question to solve before make the decision. The first is that my spouse will arrive here three month later when I may have already had this insurance, how could I buy her the same insurance? Shall I buy for three months first and then buy with her for other period of our stay in US or could I buy for myself and then buy hers separately I ask because that the eligibility says that the program is design for active engaged person so I am not sure whether she needs to buy it depending on me. Another question is whether the monthly rate for her is same to me( about for $41 per month with the maximum coverage of $50,000) (I found that J2 rate is much expensive than J1's in some other insurance plan, so I want to find out what is in yours.) Thank you,

A:
Your wife is eligible for the Patriot Exchange too (the plan is offered to program participants and their dependents). I suggest you wait until she’s ready to come over and then purchase hers at that time. The rate is the same. You can make instant purchase online at /j1-visa-health-insurance/ Please let me know if you have any other questions. Could I buy three month first and then when I need to renew the insurance I buy for her? If I wait until her arrival, maybe there will be problem in this three months.: ) You can buy for 3 months first for yourself and then renew it for you. You can then buy it separately for your wife at that time.
