Q:I will be flying to Argentina on January 12th 2020 from Cancun, Mexico and will be boarding a cruise ship to Antarctica (Falkland Islands, South Georgia and Antarctic Peninsula) on January 16th to 31st. I am looking for an emergency evacuation insurance from the cruise ship in case of medical emergency. I believe that evacuation from a ship needs to be done by helicopter. I haven't been able to find the specifics about emergency evacuation in your general conditions. I have followed the Cruise ship insurance link but it seems to bring to a regular travel insurance, without any referral to cruises. Could you please send me detailed info and general conditions of your cruise ship insurance, clearly defining if helicopter evacuation is included? I am an Italian citizen, legally residing in Mexico.

A:
Travel medical insurance plans will also provide coverage during a cruise as well as emergency medical evacuation and repatriation. Medical Evacuation is the benefit which provides coverage for transportation charges (including via helicopter) associated with either evacuation to the nearest qualified medical facility or repatriation to the country of residence. You may learn more information regarding this benefit by viewing the certificate wording. If you are primarily concerned with having the medical coverage we would recommend a plan like the Patriot International. If you would like a plan that includes the medical coverage, but also would like to insure non-refundable your trip cost in the event you are unable to travel due to a covered reason we would suggest the Trip Insurance plan.

Q:I am looking to buy health insurance policy for my parents. What is the difference between Atlas America and Atlas premium america. My mom is 75 yrs. old and my dad is 83 yrs. old. What would be a good comprehensive policy with coverage for pre existing conditions. My dad is 83 but is very healthy and has no medical issues. I need around $100,000 from January 10th to April 12th. 2020. Deductible can be $2500.

A:
Please view the comparison for Atlas America and Atlas Premium America here. Please understand that all the plans on the market are meant to cover new injuries and new illnesses that manifest after the effective date and will not cover any type of pre-existing condition, preventative care or routine maintenance. With that being said, some plans have the Acute Onset benefit within the plan and that might serve as beneficial to you. You can see more information regarding that here. Since your parents are in separate age groups, you would need to do separate applications for them. You may view plans and get quotes for them here.
