The United States is a land of opportunities and attracts many foreign workers to the United States every year while their parents and other close family members are still back in their home country. Many professionals work here for several years and eventually get a green card then become U.S. citizens, which can take a very long time, even decades. Until that time, they are unable to sponsor their parents to come and live with them permanently. Even though they’re in another country, they of course still want to see their family from back home. Such professionals in this situation in the U.S. invite their family to visit the United States. Their visit serves dual purposes: visiting the spectacular country and its various tourist places, as well as spending some quality time with the family.

As many of the parents and in-laws of such professionals are senior in age, they could have several pre-existing conditions. Therefore, it is important to look for the best health insurance plans for visitors to USA with pre-existing conditions coverage.

While no visitors insurance plan in the market would provide coverage for routine maintenance of pre-existing conditions, pre-scheduled treatment, or any anticipated treatment, there are various visitors insurance plans that would provide the coverage for acute onset of pre-existing conditions, which generally is defined as the unforeseen emergency occurring without prior warning and symptoms, and you need to take the treatment within the next 24 hours.
