Q:Is Liaison Contigent the only option for pre-existing conditions above 55 years? Hello I am looking to purchase comprehensive plan (since the fixed coverage ones do not provide any pre existing condition coverage). My mother is 67 years old. As far as I see, starting May 1 2012 Atlas America is not a viable option for anyone over 55 years since it most likely will not cover pre-existing even thought they claim so) So is Liaision Contigent the only option? How good is this insurance? I have not seen many reviews for it thanks

A:
There are two options: Liaison Continent: Up to $25,000 in acute onset of pre-ex for below 70 years /safe-travels-usa-comprehensive-insurance/ Liaison International: Up to $15,000 in acute onset of pre-ex for below 70 years /patriot-america-plus-insurance/ Both are excellent plans. Liaison Continent is from Lloyds, the same underwriter as Atlas America. If you have any further questions, please feel free to post them here or contact us at any time. I had the exact question and it has been answered well. Thanks. I do see that Liasion International offers a policy max of $50,000 for ages of 60/65+ while Liasion Continent has even $100,000. That is the notable difference. My other question is - is the policy max on a plan comprehensive adjustable between two insured? For example, if I take an insurance for my father and mother together choosing a plan that offers policy max of $50,000, does it mean my father will then have a policy max of $50,000 and my mother will separately have a policy max of $50,000. Is that correct? If correct, then is the policy max flexible - will it pay if there is an expense of $60,000 for one insured and adjust the $10,000 excess with the other insured on the same plan? If this is not a general rule, is there any plan that specifically offers this convenience? Policy maximum is per person, irrespective of whether you purchase the insurance seprately for two people or combined. Deductible, out of pocket maximum and the price is also per person. If you buy $50,000/person, it is not a combined limit of $100,000 that any one person can utilize. Each person will have maximum $50,000 to use. If you are worried that the expenses may go beyond $50,000 (which, in reality, may very well happen), you should buy $100,000 or higher policy maximum per person. No plan offers the combined limit that can be used from one person to another. Anyway, we always recommend separate policies for each person, simply so that you have the flexibility to renew or cancel for one person if needed. If you have any other questions, please feel free to contact us at any time or call our office. Per your advice, I bought two separate Liasion Continent - Plan A nsurance for my father and mother (each $100,000) through your website. Thanks for all your help and guidance. My father is 80 years old and he has high blood cholesterol issue. He never had a heart attack. No high blood pressure or diabetes. I want to buy an insurance that will cover any emergency heart attack/stroke etc. Can anyone please suggest any plans? My mother is 68 years old and have high blood pressure. I see this one: Liaison Continent: Up to $25,000 in acute onset of pre-ex for below 70 years /safe-travels-usa-comprehensive-insurance/ might be a good fit for her. Any other recommendation would help too. 1. Father. At that age, it is very difficult to find the insurance even for new medical conditions and only few plans are available. Please look at the plans at https://www.insubuy.com They will not cover any pre-existing conditions nor acute onset of pre-existing conditions, but something that may occur after the effective date of the policy. Whether heart attack/stroke will be considered pre-existing condition or new conditions can't be said in advance, as it would be determined by the claims department based on the treatment and physician report. 2. Liaison Continent is certainly a good plan. You can additionally consider purchasing Atlas America for her, available at /atlasamerica-insurance/ The benefits have changed again since August 1, 2012 where the acute onset of pre-existing conditions is covered up to $50,000 for people under the age of 70 years. If you have any other questions, please feel free to post them here or contact us at any time.

Q:Medical Insurance for visistors from Ontario, Canada My in laws (66 and 67 years old) will be visiting us in IL. They will stay with us for 6 months every year. They are covered by Ontario Health Insurance Plan when they are physically in Canada. That being said, we are only 2 hours away by flight if any non-urgent medical condition occurs while they are in US. I just want to find a medical insurance to cover any urgent issues (for example, stroke, falls from stairs...). It sounds like the comprehensive plan is a bit overkill but the fixed rate plan might not cover anything at all, if I understand it correctly. Please help me choose an insurance plan that not only fits our need but also makes sense cost wise. Thanks,

A:
Fixed coverage plans pay fixed amounts for each procedure which may be a small fraction of the actual expenses. Therefore, we always recommend everyone to buy one the comprehensive coverage plans. You may choose a higher deductible in order to reduce the premiums. You can find several such plans on this web site. If you have any other questions, please feel free to post them here or contact us at any time.

Q:Pre-existing conditions definition Bit confused ab the pre-existing condition category!! Suppose someone didnt had any medical examination since an year and apparently is sound and healthy. He/she may still be suffering from some acute illness which could not yet be traced by previous medical examinations or symptoms or could have been affected only in recent year after the test. Do such illness be also declared pre-existing?

A:
Yes. Exclusion is for pre-existing conditions and not for pre-known or pre-diagnosed or pre-treated conditions. The only comprehensive policy that's popular and seems to cover preexisting acute is Atlas. Is there any other policy that you recommend? Yes. Exclusion is for pre-existing conditions and not for pre-known or pre-diagnosed or pre-treated conditions. For acute onset of pre-existing conditions coverage in Atlas America, please make sure to read /atlas-america/acute-onset-pre-existing-conditions-coverage/ Other products that cover acute onset of pre-existing conditions or in any other manner are listed at /pre-existing-conditions-coverage-visitors-health-insurance/ Thanks for the timely info. I dont think Atlas is suitable for my parents then. I am looking for liaisoncontinentB or liaison International. Amazingly most people on forum recommended Atlas whenever there were dangers of stroke pre-existing conditions. Is this a new clause? For acute onset of pre-existing conditions coverage in Atlas America, please make sure to read /atlas-america/acute-onset-pre-existing-conditions-coverage/ Other products that cover acute onset of pre-existing conditions or in any other manner are listed at /pre-existing-conditions-coverage-visitors-health-insurance/ Yes, it is a new clause, effective May 1, 2012.
