Q:Hello, Me and my wife are visiting USA and Canada from 5th June till 23 rd June 2019. During our stay, we are taking Alaska cruise. Suggest a health insurance which will cover us during our cruise journey as well.

A:
Thank you for contacting Insubuy. Based on the information provide we would recommend the Patriot America Plus. This plan will provide coverage anywhere outside of your home country. We would be happy to send you a quote but we will need to know more information. Can you please provide the ages of the insureds?

Q:My mother-in-law has arrived in US on May 19th and will stay here with us until July 27th. Please let me know how should I pay for the basic insurance plan

A:
If your mother in law is here on a B2 Visitor Visa you can use the quote link below to find the available plans based on the state in which she is staying her age etc. /visitors-insurance/ I am not sure what you mean by basic. All plans for visitors cover new illnesses and new injuries that occur or manifest after the effective date. There are no plans on the market for visitors that cover pre-existing conditions. Some plans do have what is called an Acute onset benefit that can provide coverage in certain emergency situations due to pre-existing conditions based on the definition of acute onset as well as the attending physician report. There are Fixed Coverage limited benefit plans which pay based on a schedule of benefits for covered expenses. They have set pre-determined amount they will pay towards covered expenses and everything that goes beyond that fixed amount would be out of pocket. The Comprehensive plans cover a percentage of covered medical expenses and therefore cover a larger portion of covered expenses and can protect you from higher out of pocket costs. If you have any additional questions, please let us know.

Q:My wife and I are new Green Card holders, who spend much of the year in the US but do travel back to Canada for 3 - 5 months per year. We pay taxes in the US and I have worked part time for a US company under a TN visa for 3.5 years. I have paid into Social Security for over 8 years, but will not qualify for Medicare until December 2021. Our current ages are 68 (John) and 67 (Christine). Up until now we have been covered under the Canadian Health Ins. program with a travel supplement, however as of next month we will need US Health coverage to take us thru the next two years until we are eligible for Medicare. We are both in good health and would like to talk with someone who is knowledgeable in our best options. Thanks

A:
Thank you for contacting Insubuy for your insurance needs. The Bridge plan is available to a green card holder that is not eligible for Medicare. Once they become eligible they will need to at that time enroll. In order to receive a quote you will have to submit an application for coverage as this plan is underwritten for coverage and rates determined accordingly. Typically if someone is eligible for Medicare Part A they will be able to enroll into Part B as well and will need to do so. The application for the Bridge plan is attached within this email for your review. If you need receipts for previous plans you will need to send an email with the certificate numbers of the policy you need. If you need any additional assistance please contact our office.

Q:I was looking at quotes for your travel insurance plans and wanted to ask a question regarding the Safe Travels USA plan. If I look at the trip insurance version there is a description stating that a pre existing waiver is available as long as it is within 30 days of final trip payment. When I look at just the only the medical trip insurance for Safe Travels USA premium it only covers acute onset pre existing conditions. Could you clarify this? Additionally, if a pre existing waiver exists for the trip insurance version of safe travels, does this also remove the section in the certificate stating there is only $1000 coverage for the unexpected pre existing condition? Basically I want to make sure that pre existing conditions are covered to the policy maximum if a waiver is given.

A:
The trip insurance plan offers the pre-existing waiver with the 30 day condition, and the Travel medical Insurance plan does not. The $1,000 unexpected re occurrence benefit comes only with the Safe Travels USA Cost Saver plan. If you want to have coverage for pre-existing conditions, the Trip plan with the waiver would provide more coverage. However, trip insurance plans have length of trip restrictions. You will want to review those timeframes. If you have any additional questions, please let us know.

Q:I am planning to visit USA with my spouse. I would like to take travel/health insurance policy to cover my stay in USA. However, I have the below questions and request to clarify please. Will the plan cover cancellation of our trip, due to any unforeseen circumstances?

A:
There are 2 types of insurance. Travel Medical Insurance can cover for new illnesses and new injuries that occur or manifest after the effective date of the policy. Some of these plans can include lost luggage benefits as well as trip interruption, but they are not for trip cancellation. The Travel Medical plans for visitors can be found here through the quote link:Visitors Insurance There are also Trip Insurance plans. These cover for trip cancellation, and can include some medical benefits as well. I have attached the Trip Insurance quote link below for those plans for you to review.
