Q:I am Talal and I am on J1 visa in United States attending University. I want to have insurance for my wife who is on J2. My question is that her Visa expires in August 2019 ,so do I need to get her insurance till August 2019 according to her visa date or can I get her insurance till the December 2019 as she is going to stay with me till December 2019 based on the fact that my studies would complete by December 2019. Let me know if the insurance dates are also dependent on Visa or DS-2019 form dates.What would be the best option for me. She arrived in US on 20th Jan 2019.She will not be extending her Visa but she is going to have New DS form issued from the Fulbright in August 2019 which will be I guess valid through December 2019. There are some requirements by State Department for J2 health insurance which should be met. I think your web does includes those requirements.

A:
All of the plans in the J1/J2 section of our website /j1-visa-health-insurance/; will meet the basic requirements set by the State Department of Insurance. You can purchase the insurance for whatever duration you would like as long as she is on a valid visa for that same duration.

Q:I am 74 years and my wife 73 years old,have come to USA on green card in Dec 2018. We plan to stay here for 6 months.We need short term health insurance plan,which should cover our pre existing conditions. Please suggest us plans suitable for us

A:
Short term plans are NOT meant to cover pre-existing conditions. They would cover any new medical conditions, injuries or accidents that occur after the effective date of the policy. We have 2 sections that provide coverage to green card holders. The one provided below, The New Immigrant plans link, is for green card holders who will be staying in the U.S. for more than 6 months, residing here permanently . They are only available If the green card holder is not eligible for Medicare, or any domestic insurance plan offered in the state in which they will be residing. If they are eligible for either of those insurances, they would have to enroll into them, and they would not be eligible for any of these plans. You would have to run these quotes yourself, as they will have you choose different options including deductible to determine cost. /new-immigrant-insurance/ If a green card holder is coming to stay in the U.S., but for 6 months or less, we have plans for Visiting with green card, and have listed that link below. There is one plan under this section that does have acute onset benefits, but it is a benefit only offered to people 69 years of age or younger. Therefore, there are no plans available to you, that will cover pre-existing conditions, or the acute onset of pre-existing conditions. /green-card-holders-visiting-usa-insurance/ If you have any additional questions, please let us know.

Q:My daughter who is 100 percent disabled with complex medical condition and I are taking a cruise in May 2020. She is in perfect health right now when I booked it and remains. I just booked the cruise and put a deposit on the cruise last week. The other two cruises we have booked we did it within a year of travel dates so I was able to figure out entire trip cost at that time and book travel insurance with pre existing and waiver within 30 days of paying the deposit. I am not sure how much the total cost is for the cruise in 2020 so I was wondering how much time do I have to purchase travel insurance with pre existing condition, waiver, cancel for any reason coverage? I am still trying to understand this and how it works.

A:
Plans that offer pre-existing coverage generally require that you purchase within 20 days of the date your initial trip deposit is received. Must insure 100% of trip costs. If you don't know how much the final cost will be then you would put the amount to date and then make sure you adjust the amount as it is paid. The cancel for any reason, if available, generally has the same conditions.
