Q:My wife arrived July 27 after receiving a Green Card. I want to enroll her in my insurance program but am being told we will have to wait for the next open enrollment period and that her status as a married recent green card holder does not constitute a QLE. In my opinion and for all practical purposes our situation is the same as getting married.

A:
If your wife is unable to obtain a domestic insurance plan, either through your employer or through the marketplace, she may be eligible to purchase the National General Short Term Medical Plan. She would be able to continue coverage under the plan until she can purchase a domestic insurance. Should you have additional questions you may call our office at +1 (866) 467-8289.

Q:I see that quarantine is covered under trip delay coverage. I wonder if the coverage extends past the specified end travel date? If the quarantine causes you to miss the return flight home will coverage pay for the accommodations after the return date on the policy?

A:
Quarantine is a named peril under the Trip Cancellation, Trip Interruption and Trip Delay benefits in the Safe Travels Voyager and Safe Travels Explorer plans. Quarantine is defined as "Your strict isolation imposed by a Government authority or Physician to prevent the spread of disease. An embargo preventing You from entering a country is not a Quarantine." If you become sick while on your trip (COVID-19 is treated as any other illness), your policy may provide benefits under Trip Interruption, Sickness Medical, Emergency Medical Evacuation or Trip Delay Trip Delay provides benefits if someone is delayed due to being quarantined, and will provide coverage for reasonable additional expenses such as lodging, up to the maximum benefit amount. Should you have additional questions or need further assistance you may also call our office at +1 (866) 467-8289.
