Q:Patriot and Protection America I am trying to compare the two plans. The benefits look the same. Any idea why the Protection plan is costing more than Patriot ? Thanks

A:
Patriot America: You must purchase initially for at least 3 months and pay upfront in order to be able to renew in future. Protection America: You can initially for as little as 5 days and still be able to renew it. It is best to renew the policy so that it remains continuous coverage rather than purchase it agin. If you are planning to purchase for less than 3 months initially and if there is even a small possibility of renewal, go for Protection America. If you are paying for at least 3 months upfront, it is fine to go to with Patriot America. Ok... Thanks for the super fast response !!!!!!!

Q:Liasion Worldwide /Seven Corners worst insurace. Seven Corners is one of the worst travel insurance companies. They are not straight forward. They are very good at selling their plans but when you send them a claim thats when the real trouble begins. They ask you to wait atleat 15 days to know if they recieved the fax you sent. Then after that they dont immedieatly tell you any thing but when you follow up with them for 4to 5 times they will ask for your travel related documets such as passport tickets etc. once you send them you will wait for 15 more days then they will ask you detailed bills, etc and medical records by that time you would have called them hundreds of times and burnt almost 4 to 5 months if you dont send any thing they ask they will just close your case. Even after sending every thing they will decide your case is not valid for that type of insurance you bought. If you buy insurance with them you are buying tickets to hell.

Q:Any user review of Bridge Plan? Hi other Consumers, I am planning to apply for the Bridge plan for my Father. Wanted to check about its customer service and payment reputation from other consumers of the plan. Any experiences? Please reply. thanks

A:
Yes, it would be nice to hear the experiences of other consumers. We sell Bridge plan a lot and we have not heard a single complaint so far. People are more likely to report problems than good experiences.

Q:maternity insurance i am visiting USA during my 7th month pregnancy period for 1 full month, therefore i am welling to secure my self (if possible) with delivery insurance incase of early delivery during my stay, please advise if possible to do so?, if yes, how much is going to cost? thanks

A:
You can certainly pay for it yourself. That is an option. If there are no complications and normal delivery, expenses may be around $10,000 to $15,000. But it can really vary.

But it can really vary. thanks for the reply, that's an option, what's the other options? can i have maternity insurance, i can pay for it from now! waiting Other option could have been if your or your spouse's employer's group health insurance would cover it. You can't buy new insurance to cover pregnancy/maternity if you are already pregnant. i have conducted an emergency maternity insurance in the country i am visiting this month, Can we conduct the same in US? I am not aware of any product from any company in US that would cover maternity if you are already pregnant. i have conducted an emergency maternity insurance in the country i am visiting this month, Can we conduct the same in US? reply soon

Q:Visitor Insurance for Parents Does it include Travel insurance My parents are planning to come for 6 months trip to USA in Dec. My dad is 72 years old and my mom is 62 years old. I am planning to get the Visitors Care Medical insurance (IMG) for them for $100,000 with 50$ deductible. Does the Visitor's Care cover any medical emergencies from the time of travel from India to USA and then while returning from USA till they reach India Also does this cover any Travel insurance like for example for any unexpected Travel delayloss of luggageloss of passportwallet etc too Second question Should I buy an insurance together for them or should I buy an insurance seperately BTW my father had a Heart By pass surgery in 2002. He is doing Ok now. So I presume this would be considered as a preexisting condition What would you recommend Please help me in choosing the right insurance. We did buy the same insurance in 2005 when they had come earlier to visit USA. Thank you. Bhargavi

A:
1. Visitors Care covers anywhere outside home country. And the effective date/time is according to the 12.01 AM Eastern time the day you specify. Keeping the time zone difference in mind, in order to cover during the travel time as well, you need to put the effective date one day in advance of the travel date. 2. Travel delay/loss of luggage/passport etc. No. 3. You should buy separately. Everything is per person including price. But if you buy separately, you more flexibility in terms of renewing/cancelling for just one person. More details in FAQ at /visitors-medical-insurance/ 4. Yes, that would be considered as pre-existing condition and excluded by this products and others as well. 5. Visitors Care is a fixed coverage plan. I recommend comprehensive coverage plan such as Patriot America. Read /visitors-insurance/ to understand fixed vs comprehensive. Since the pre-existing conditions are not going to be covered do you think it really matters if it is going to Fixed or Comprehensive coverage? Also comprehensive coverage seems very expensive. Yes, it matters. If it didn't matter, why would anyone buy comprehensive coverage? Why would comprehensive plans even exist? Why would someone pay 2 to 3 times more money? Whether the person is healthy or not, probability of someone getting into completely new medical condition is the same at a given age. Both types of plans don't cover pre-existing conditions. However, when a new medical condition occurs how much they cover is the difference between fixed vs. comprehensive. e.g., if you need surgery (let's say you fell down in bathroom and broke your hip) and it costs you $40,000, fixed coverage will pay $3,300 and you pay the rest. Let's say you get hospitalized and the expenses is $10,000 a day, fixed coverage will pay $1,400 a day and you pay the difference. Therefore, it is still recommended to buy the comprehensive coverage. Cheap or expensive is a very relative term. Looking at the cost of medical treatment and the age of the visitor, comprehensive coverage plans are very reasonably priced, keeping in mind the level of coverage they provide. They are not expensive at all. OK. That's a very valid point. Let me review the benefits of Comp Insurance too. Thank you for your inputs. Is There any seperate insurance that I can buy for travel for loss of luggage/ticket/passport or delay etc? If so from where and approx how much would it be? If you buy comprehensive plan like Patriot America, it will automatically include lost luggage. There is no separate insurance for loss of passport/ticket etc. Those items will always be with you and therefore rare chance of losing them. I have another question. If we get an insurance for initial 3 months say Dec to March and then renew it again for the next 3 months say Mar to Jun would it be considered as one policy period or two seperate policy period? How about the deductibles? Please let me know. Thank you In Patriot America, it would be considered as one policy period and one deductible would apply in entire 6 months. In Patriot America, it would be considered as one policy period and one deductible would apply in entire 6 months. How about in Visitor's Care? In Visitors Care, the deductible gets reset at the time of renewal. In Visitors Care, the deductible gets reset at the time of renewal. How about the coverage that we take? Policy maximum is life time. That does not get reset. Policy maximum is life time. That does not get reset. Thank you so much for your inputs. I am planning to buy the insurance policy today.
