Q:Schengen D Visa Travel Insurance for Greece This question is aimed at the Administrators of the site please. I have just spent considerable time on this excellent website reading about the provisions pertaining to the Atlas International Product. I was excited having found this website and then happy that I found a Schengen Travel Insurance product available through Atlas. After clicking through the various links explaining the product and feeling that my search was finally over I clicked through HCCMIS Insurance-Eligibility Restrictions and was greeted with This product is not available to Citizens of Australia! Wow why? I'm an Australian born and bred and resident of Australia. I'm flabbergasted....I simply do not understand why we are excluded from this policy. My situation. I'm looking to obtain a Long Stay D Visa for Greece...One year. I satisfy all requirements as far as the Greek Consul is concerned except for the Travel Insurance. I then stumbled upon this remarkable website and thought my hunt is over. What a disappointment to find out I can't get the Atlas product. Can someone please help me understand what the issue is as far as Australia is concerned? And perhaps some direction as to where I might find Travel Insurance that satisfies the Schengen requirements? Thank you Rockjockey

A:
Hello, Thank you for your interest in purchasing Schengen visa insurance. Unfortunately, Atlas International has the restriction for Australia as you mentioned due to regulatory requirements from Government of Australia, and that is beyond our control. I apologize for any inconvenience caused to you because of that. However, we have several other plans available at /schengen-visa-insurance/ that you can purchase and you would be eligible for. I hope that answers your questions. If you have any further questions, please feel free to post them here or contact us at any time. Thank you for replying to my query re Atlas and Australian Citizens. I am even more confused now because you say they cite Regulatory Controls by the Australian Government....I am afraid I find this answer perplexing to say the least. I am an ex Insurance Sales person and have never heard of such a thing. Additionally you say there are other products on your site that would suit me. Why are they not subject to the same "Regulatory Government controls like Atlas?" Is it at all possible for me to contact the Atlas underwriters and ask them what the issue is? I am not one to be put off following an idea at the first hurdle that is placed in my path. I appreciate that you might be giving the answer you are giving me because that is what you have been told to say....fair enough. However it is not a satisfactory answer in my view. So please help me get to the bottom of this. I am definitely a potential customer. I look forward to your reply. Rockjockey:confused:

Q:Need advice around medical expenses handling for special cases on H1B I am from India and may travel to USA with family on H1B/L1 visa in a year's time. I have 6 years old daughter who is cerebral palsy patient (mild - moderate range). She would need regular physiotherapy, development assistance programs (we do it everyday here in India for her), orthopaedic consultancy, orthosis consultancy etc. I need to understand what all among these do get covered in insurance plans and what is the impact on insurance cost if I seek coverage for all these expenses for my daughter. Appreciate if you could assist on this.

A:
We don't have any such insurance.

Q:General Insurance questions and Auto-renew My mother in law is travelling in a week. She is 64 years old. She plans to stay anywhere between 3 to 6 months. I plan to buy Patriot / Atlas or Liaison in the comprehensive section. My Questions are: 1. I plan to buy month to month. Can I have it auto-renew till I cancel it? 2. Can I purchase $50000 worth comprehensive and increase coverage to 100000$? Can I do it vice-versa? 3. Does buying month to month entail risks in terms of coverage? 4. Patriot, Atlas or Liaison-A. Which one to buy? Could someone tell me what is different? Parsing the legalese and differences is proving to be painful. Do you have a comparison table? 5. I hope to never use this insurance(As everyone does). My only requirement is if I ever need to use it, I should have least amount of hassle and paperwork. On a side note, your email contact on the site is broken (ShareThis does not seem to integrate well with Gmail. The recipient list comes up empty. I am using Google Chrome Version 33.0.1750.154 which is the latest and the greatest as of today).

A:
Thank you for your interest in purchasing visitors insurance for your mother-in-law. 1. You can pay month to month. In that case, you would buy for a month and you can extend it online at /myaccount/ There is no auto-renew as the visitor is not going to stay here forever. 2. No. 3. A. You must extend it before it expires, according to the US Eastern Time. If you forget to extend or if you decide to wait till the last second, it will expire and you will have to repurchase. B. Most plans charge $5 extension fee. 4. You can compare them side by side online at https://www.insubuy.com Just enter the basic information and click 'Search & Compare'. You will see check boxes next to each plan and the orange color 'Compare' button. 5. Please read /international-travel-medical-insurance/ Technical matter: Thank you for reporting. I will forward it to our IT department to look at it immediately. If you have any other questions, please feel free to post them here or contact us at any time.

Q:Coverage for cancer detected unexpectedly Hi, I have purchased AtlasAmerica insurance from InsuBuy for my mother (Age:58). The coverage is from Dec 2013 till June 2014. On Jan 31, she suddenly started to have heavy vaginal bleeding so we saw a doctor. The doctor sent us for sonography, found large fibroids and suggested to get them removed immediately. So we went for the surgery (hysteroscopy). The claims for all this are still being processed so not yet sure if this will be covered. But now we found another problem. The doctor did tests on the tissue from surgery and the report found Cancer in uterus. The cancer cells are grade 3 which are rare (grade 1 uterus cancer is still common). Type 3 cancer cells are very aggressive in spreading so we now need to act fast and get hysterectomy (uterus removal) done now. But HCC has a clause that no cancer diagnosis or treatment is covered and I am wonder what our options are here? We had contacted HCC to go to a cancer specialist now and get treatment but the person on HCC customer support phone told that this will not be covered at all. We need to act quickly and are trying to understand out options now. Any help will be very much appreciated. Will the insurance cover treatment for our situation? Please advise on what our options are and how to proceed. Thanks a lot!!

A:
Cancer is explicitly excluded in Atlas America plan. Therefore, it will NOT be covered. Look at exclusion #48 on page 13 at /hccmis/atlas-america/description-visitors-insurance.pdf If I were you, if at all I could, I would immediately contact my travel agent, and send her back home on the next flight and get her treated there. Otherwise, you should be ready to pay all the costs yourself in the US which will be very high. Thanks for the quick response. I have one more question. Will this be considered trip interruption under insurance? The doctor has advised to get this treated in 2-3 weeks and is ready to give it in writing. This is not major concern but thought to seek clarification anyways. Thanks! You will not get any trip interruption benefits under insurance in this case. Trip interruption coverage is for "Destruction, after departure from Home Country, resulting from fire or weather of more than 40% of the Member's Principal Residence, or death of a parent, spouse, sibling or child." Please let us know if you have any other questions. Thanks. The coverage brochure also talks about some trip interruption under returning due to medical needs. I am guessing that also does not really apply here, correct? Could you please let me know which exact document you are referring to and which page and which section?

Q:Visitor insurance for parents with pre-existing condition Hi,My parents are going to visit US soon for 3 months and I need help for choosing insurance for them. Father: 71 years old, open hurt surgery 12 years ago, under medication since then and doing well Mother: 68 years old, slight arthritis problem in leg, not under any medication They will be staying in ohio. I would like to go with a insurance with higher coverage amount, comprehensive illness coverage. Is there any policy which will cover pre-existing condition? Thanks and appreciate your help.

A:
Thank you for your interest in purchasing visitors insurance for your parents. There are some plans that cover acute onset of pre-existing conditions for below the age of 70 years. However, for 70+, Patriot America will cover sudden and unexpected recurrence of pre-existing conditions up to $2,500. /patriot-america-lite-insurance/ /visitor-insurance-acute-onset-of-pre-existing-conditions/ I doubt that the person would really get acute onset of pre-existing conditions for arthritis as it is a chronic problem. But in any case, look at Atlas America at /atlasamerica-insurance/ I hope this answers your questions. If you have any other questions, please feel free to post them here or contact us at any time. Thanks for quick reply. Are these insurance accepted in www.metrohealth.org? Metrohealth is pretty good hospital in Cleveland but known for its discounted healthcare services. For my mom, I am not really looking for the insurance which will cover arthritis. What will be a good regular insurance for her covering dental or any other emergency needs? Hello, You can search for the providers in your area at Atlas America: /travel-and-student-insurance-ppo-network/ Patriot America: /international-medical-ppo-network/ In regards to your mom, there are fixed coverage plans & also comprehensive. We recommend the comprehensive plans, such as Atlas America, due to the fact that the plans have more coverage then the fixed. I have also provided the link for Inbound USA which is a fixed coverage plan for you to read over to see how that plan works. I have also included the web address for Careington which is a Dental/Vision discount plan that we offer. /safe-travels-elite-insurance/ /careington-dental-vision-plan/ If you have any other questions, please feel free to post them here or contact us at any time.
