Q:I am looking for insurance for my niece who is holding US citizenship. For the last 10 years she is staying outside US. She is coming in August to US for studying in Pittsburgh University. Please let me know what type of insurance you will suggest to get so that I can enroll her online.

A:
As a United States citizen she will need to have a domestic plan that will cover her and be in compliance with the ACA. We can offer short term solutions in some cases but she will need to be enrolled into a long term domestic insurance to have proper coverage.

Q:My Son has US citizenship, but we reside in Korea. During summer, my 12-year old son is going to summer camp at Northwestern University, IL. So what kind of insurance do I have to purchase for my son? He is going to stay there for 40 days. I hope to hear your answer soon.

A:
Thank you for contacting Insubuy for your insurance needs. There are a few plans available for a US citizen visiting the US for a short time. When you run a quote on our website www.insubuy.com you would put his citizenship as US and the available plans will come up. If you would like for us to send you a quote then provide the dates of coverage. If you have additional questions you can also contact our office to speak with an agent.

Q:I am an international student holding F1 visa in the US. My mother comes here from China recently and will stay in the US for over 5 months. She has caught high blood pressure for over ten years, but her condition is stable by taking some routine medicines. Since she needs to stay here for a long period, I am worried about some acute emergency conditions, such as acute high blood pressure, heart attach or stroke. So I want to buy an insurance plan for her to make us feel safe. I am not sure if those comprehensive plans which can cover acute on-set pre-existing conditions can work in my case, because those plans usually do not cover chronic disease. In my view, high blood pressure is a chronic thing. Could you please give me some information about this to help me decide which health plan I can by on your website? Thanks!

A:
We would be glad to assist. All plans for visitors on the market, cover new illnesses and new injuries that manifest or occur after the effective date of the policy. The plans do not cover anything preventative, routine or pre-existing. Anything that an insured already has, known or unknown at the time of application would not be covered by any plan. Some plans offer an acute onset benefit. If someone has an acute onset of a pre-existing condition that meets the definition provided within the plan's certificate wording, it could be covered based on the doctor's or attending physician's report. The acute onset is a possibility of coverage in the case of an acute onset. I have attached an acute onset FAQ from our website to provide additional information about what an acute onset is and to provide some examples and scenarios for you as well. If you have any additional questions, please let us know.

Q:After enrolling to health insurance plan which is quoted above (atlas essential america), Can we get medicines through pharmacy with the insurance card that you have provided? Please explain regarding this Looking forward to hear from you

A:
Thank you for contacting Insubuy for your insurance needs. The plan does cover the cost of inpatient prescription medication related to the new accidents and new illnesses. However, medications are always paid for out of pocket and reimbursed. There is not outpatient prescription medicine coverage, not even for new illnesss. You will get a prescription discount card that you can use for instant discounts.

Q:I have a question regarding the Diplomat travel insurance. That is, the travel insurance designed for American citizens who are currently out of the country and come back to visit for short trips. Am I allowed to purchase travel insurance to the United States if my permanent residence is in the United States? I will be traveling to Canada for the next several months but will return to the US for a short period of time during that trip. I am not certain whether I will need to retain my US based regular health insurance or if I can pick up travel insurance from you for the short time I will be in the US.

A:
The Diplomat America plan can be used by a US citizen that resides outside of the US and comes back for a visit so would not be appropriate for this situation. Are you purchasing a plan for your trip to Canada? Some plans that cover a longer trip outside of the US will cover incidental trips back.
