Q:Which plan covers fully for flu shot, TDAP and pre-existing conditions?

A:
There is no insurance plan for an international visitor which provides coverage for preventive care like immunization or flu shots. Insurance will not provide any routine maintenance for pre-existing conditions. However, some plan provides coverage for an acute onset of pre-existing conditions.

Q:I want to purchase some travel insurance and prefer the Atlas America plan. I have couple questions before I make my decision. I do not understand the part about deductible. What is the difference and what is the best option? Is it possible to pay monthly? Paying through an automatic draft would be best for me. I would prefer something monthly until I decide to quit.

A:
A deductible is the amount the insured agrees to pay before the insurance begins to pay its portion. You can select the deductible that you would like keeping in mind this is the amount that you must be prepared to pay out of pocket anything were to happen. You can purchase for 1 month and renew the Atlas America plan every month thereafter with a $5.00 renewal fee in addition to your premium. Unfortunately, there is not an automatic draft option so you will have to remember to renew every month. Once a plan expires you cannot renew the plan you will be required to purchase a new plan. We will send you renewal reminders 2 weeks before, 1 week before and the last day of coverage reminding you to renew your plan. You will be able to renew online or over the phone.
