Thank you for your interest in purchasing visitors insurance. As we don't offer the other plan you mentioned, we are not too familiar with it. Therefore, we can't really comment on it. However, I can certainly tell you about the Atlas plan. Atlas America covers up to $15,000 in acute onset of pre-existing conditions for persons below the age of 70 years. Atlas America is a comprehensive coverage plan. In other words, there are no individual sub-limits for each and every procedure. Please look at /visitors-insurance/ to understand the difference between fixed and comprehensive coverage plans. After the deductible, Altas America covers 100% up to policy maximum if you go in the PPO network and they bill directly. Otherwise, it is 80/20 for first $5,000 in medical expenses and 100% after that up to the policy maximum. No sub-limits for each procedure. Atlas America participates in First Health/PHCS/CMN PPO networks. There are a lot of providers in every part of the country. When you go there, they would generally bill the insurance company directly and also charge you the network negotiated fees. There is no extra premium to include an acute onset of pre-existing conditions. Also, there is no extra deductible for an acute onset of pre-existing conditions and the deductible choices are $0, $100, $250, $500, $1,000 and $2,500. And the deductible is only once, and not per every incident. I suggest that you take some examples and then calculate how much each plan would cover and decide accordingly which one may be the best one for you.

If you have any further questions, please feel free to contact us at any time or post them here. Thank you for the detailed information, I see that Atlas is more comfortable.

Arun, Thank you for your interest in purchasing insurance. There are absolutely no disadvantages in buying from INSUBUY. The price is always the same everywhere. However, there are numerous advantages in buying from us, as we help you not only before the purchase and during purchase, but also after the purchase if you need, all at no extra cost. If you bought directly and if you have any problem, who will be on your side to help you out? We, as a broker, work for you and not for any particular company. Please look at the FAQ at /visitors-medical-insurance/ to read the full list of benefits that you get if you purchase the insurance through us. For example, you asked a question about Atlas vs Liaison. If you ask each company directly, each company will say that they are the best. However, we have the knowledge and experience to tell you the difference in benefits and can help you select the most suitable plan for you. Moreover, the insurers do not sell these insurance plans directly. Whichever companies you are thinking are the direct insurers are merely the administrators of the plans and do the claims processing. Most of the marketing and sales are done by agents and brokers like us. Of course, there are many brokers out there and hundreds of web sites selling the same stuff. What is the advantage with us? We are a leading brokerage company and among many other things, provide you prompt customer service, such as answering your questions immediately, in this case. I hope that answers your questions. If you have any other questions, please feel free to contact us at any time. So I am sold that it is better to buy through you.. Now, let me ask what's the best option for me. My parents (age 69 and 59) are coming to US for 4 mths. They both have pre-existing conditions which are under control. I am looking for comprehensive insurance with low one-time deductible ($100) and no co-insurance. Policy upto 50,000. I know that Atlas offers limited protection for acute occurence of preexisting conditions. 1) Could you pls tell me that is there any alternative to Atlas. 2) Secondly, Atlas mentions that they do a direct pay with in-network doctors/hospitals. On paper it sounds good, how are they in practice? 3) What's Atlas reputation in terms of how easily they reimburse valid charges OR do they stall Thanks for your help. Arun. Thanks for the confidence in INSUBUY. 1. No, there is no other better alternative. Atlas is currently the only comprehensive visitors insurance in market that provides the coverage up to $15,000 in acute onset of pre-existing conditions for the persons below the age of 70 years. 2. Network is pretty good. In fact, there are multiple networks such as First Health, PHCS and CMN. Therefore, you get a wide choice all across the country. 3. They promptly pay the valid claims. In fact, I had purchased Atlas America for my own parents who visited us from August 2009 to January 2010. And my parents' age is about the same as yours, though father few years younger. I hope that answers your questions. If you have any other questions, please feel free to contact us at any time or post them here.

1. Protection America does not cover anything related to an acute onset of pre-existing conditions. Atlas America covers up to $15,000 in acute onset of pre-existing conditions. Therefore, in your case, Atlas America would work out better. 2. You just have to show the insurance card to them and they can bill the insurance company directly in order to receive 100% coverage after the deductible. I suggest you read /travel-and-student-insurance-ppo-network/ I hope that answers your questions. If you have any other questions, please feel free to post them here or contact us at any time.
