Q:About Patriot and Protection America plans I have purchased insurance from insubuy.com twice in the past for my parents. Last time I bought Patriot America. Luckily I never needed to use the insurance. My parents are again coming to USA and I am looking to buy insurance. They are reaching here tonight. Questions: There are 2 comprehensive plans by IMG, Patriot America and Protection America. Can you tell me if there is a significant difference between the 2 plans. The Protection America premium is about 100+ more than Patriot America. I am planning to buy the insurance today so that it will be effective starting tomorrow. I would appreciate if you could respond today. Thanks

A:
Difference: Patriot America must be renewed for minimum 3 months in order to be able to renew in future. Protection America can be purchased for minimum 5 days and renewed for minimum 5 days. You can buy either of the plans online at https://www.insubuy.com Please let me know if you have any other questions.

Q:Wife on H4 visa coming for one month My wife is on H4 visa but she is comming to USA only for a month. As she is comming for only one month i don't want to add her in my insurance and pay even if she is not here. Please recommnd me a good insurance for her. And pls let me know the benifts also. I really appreciate it

A:
You can buy Patriot America for her, available at /patriot-america-lite-insurance/ Thank you very much for u'r reply. One more last question . so how soon the ins will get effective. i saw in u'r website some ins tell that first one month it will cover only $1000. i did not get that. and u suggested patriot america but i liked protection america. is there any perticular reason u suggested patriot america. please let me know. and i will buy it as soon as i get this reply. thank you 1. That kind of $1,000 restriction is there only in Diplomat America. 2. Both Patriot America and Protection America are from the same company. Major difference is that you have to buy for minimum 3 months initially in order to be able to renew in future in Patriot America. However, you can month by month in Protection America. Patriot America is little cheaper. If she might stay longer than 1 month by any chance, and if you may probably renew it, go for Protection America. as u suggested I tried buying protection America ins today but had question is that necessary that dates should match with itinerary of my wife. to be on safe side can i buy the ins 5 days before and 5 days after her stay in usa ( i don't have prob paying more). thanks in advance You can put any dates as start/end date you want. They don't have to be same as your itinerary.

Q:Visitors Care questions My parents are visiting me for 2.5 months. I want to buy insurance for them. I checked online - IMG is providing the cheapest coverage. Can you advise me on the following - 1. Do I have to make payments first, and then file claim, or do i just pay the deductible / Copay and hospital directly charges insurance company for the balance? 2. Is there a requirement to do medical checkup of the visitors? 3. How much would be the copay for each visit to physician? Thanks in advance.

A:
Please look at my answers below regarding Visitors Care from IMG. 1. Read /international-medical-ppo-network/ 2. No. 3. There is no concept of copay in visitors insurance. Insurance company pays a fixed amount for each and every procedure in Visitors Care and you pay the difference. You can find out the coverage limits at /visitors-care/visitor-medical-insurance/ Please let me know if you have any other questions.

Q:clarification regarding "protection America" Hello, I was looking for a good visitor's insurancefor my parents and found the information in your website to be very useful.I found "protection America" by IMG is most suitable for them.I also understand that you give good guidance and support in the matter.But I need the following clarification. Pre-existing conditions like BP/DIABETES even in the mildest form and complications on account of pre-ex are not covered under the exclusions clause.But other claims not associated with pre-ex are covered.That means a person is eligible for cover even though he/she has pre-ex conditions .Only thing is he/she will not get cover only for pre-ex and complications on a/c of pre-ex. But in the application for insurance at the end under CERTIFICATION, there is this clause. 'I DO NOT SUFFER FROM ANY PRE-EXISTING OR OTHER MEDICAL CONDITION WHICH I FORESEE MAY REQUIRE TREATMENT DURING THIS INSURANCE OR FOR WHICH I INTEND TO CLAIM UNDER THIS INSURANCE. What does this mean?Will such a declaration not amount to a false declaration and make the policy void .In that case no one with a pre-ex is eligible for any cover and take this policy.In that case, will not the pre-ex exclusion clause become irrelevant ? please clarify. Regards,

A:
That essentially means that you are not trying to buy the insurance hoping to get the treatment covered for pre-existing conditions. Many people would like to come to USA for treatment who have pre-existing conditions and good facilities are not available in their country such as African countries. Therefore, such sentence is primarily meant for such people. I hope that answers your questions. Please feel free to contact us at any time if you have any other questions.

Q:Prescription drug discount card for pre-existing conditions Hi, I am planning to buy Insurance for my parents. They are immigrating to US. I am thinking to go with 100,000 max policy and 1000 deductible. I checked your website and seems like Patriot America Plus also has a prescription discount card. Can that card be used for the pre-existing conditions? Also their official address is in Ohio but they will spend most of the time in Minneapolis. Which state should I select while buying the insurance? Awaiting your reply, Thanks,

A:
Yes, you can use the prescription drugs discount card for pre-existing conditions as well. Please look at /universal-rx/ to see which drugs are covered at what cost. You don't have to select any state. Insurance is valid everywhere in the US, except FL addresses. You can make instant purchase online here: Patriot America Plus Please feel free to contact us at any time if you have any other questions.
