Q:A question regarding the Patriot Exchange Program insurance Dear director of “insubuy” I am interested in the Patriot Exchange Program as I think it will fit me and my family nicely when we move to the US. I do however have a few questions regarding the Patriot Exchange Program which I hope you might help me with. If not then please forward this mail to a relevant person. I have the following questions: 1. Can you confirm that the “standard plan” of the Patriot Exchange program is sufficient to meet the requirements of J1/J2 visa applicants? 2. Can you confirm that in the case of the standard plan that “100% coinsurance” as stated in the plan overview, means that apart from the deductable which is payed by the insured, the insurance agency pays all expences for a given covered illness (i.e. the insured does not pay for instance 10-20% of the expenses as is the case for some insurance policies). Many thanks for your help!

A:

Q:Trouble making online purchase of Patriot America Hi, I tried buying a Patriot America Insurance Plan from your site at around 4am CST, Sunday 6th July, 2008 and while paying by my card issued by Deutsche Bank, I got the following error: The following errors occurred during processing - Unfortunately, we were unable to process your payment Reason: Issuer Unavailable (Response Code: 98) I verified the Credit Card information and tried it again and got the same error. Meanwhile I received 2 SMSs from my bank saying that the amount of $48.75 has been debited twice from my account. I called them up and they confirmed that the amount has been debited twice. I'm unable to proceed with the process of completing the transaction on your site(Progress: 79% Complete ) and therefore have not received any email from your side. I would like to request you to please send a void slip to my bank so that I'm not charged for these incomplete transactions. Also, I'm interested in buying the above mentioned insurance plan probably by using another Credit card but I'm not sure if your site has some issues. Kindly revert back asap. Regards,

A:
Those transactions have not gone through and you were not charged anything so far. What you have seen and experienced were simply the authorization attempts and NOT transactions. It often happens with foreign credit cards that the transactions don't go through. However, that is because of the security measures taken by your own bank and not because of any restriction or malfunction on our side. Our web site is working properly and numerous transactions have succeeded throughout the day. You can apply online again at /patriot-america-lite/medical-insurance/ Please feel free to contact us at any time if you have any other questions. Thanks for your response. My bank requires a void slip from your side so that they can credit the already debited amount back to my account. I would therefore like to request you to please send a void slip to my bank. I would wait for your response regarding the same to get the amount credited back and then use my Citibank card (which I have used earlier on your site) to buy the insurance. You have not been charged anything and therefore there is nothing to void. Otherwise also, I don't have any technical way of generating anything like "void slip". Is there any other technical way by which the site can let my bank know about this transactions? They are basically awaiting an update from the merchant's side to credit the amount to my account. Else, they would credit it back only if the amount is not claimed by the merchant in 30 days from the transaction date. I have forwarded your query to both the IT department as well as finance department to see if they have any further information. They will respond earliest by tomorrow as today is Sunday. I will let you know as soon as I have any update. However, from what I can tell, your credit card has not been charged. Therefore, there is nothing to cancel/credit back. My reply was confirmed by the supervisor in the department that handles such queries: >>>> Hi, I see a purchase and charge made this morning. I have searched under the credit card number prior to today and showed no charges made. I have also searched by the amount given, $48.75 and find nothing for this amount charged since July 3rd, but still nothing charged to the credit card number referenced below. At this point I would have to say that the card was not charged. I noticed that the cert purchased this morning was completed with a different credit card. Best regards, David >>>>>>>>>> As I said before, no charges were made earlier. Please let me know if you have any other questions.

Q:fullcoverage_GC_insurance Dear Friends, My sister has sponsored my dad for his G.C, which he will be getting next month. From now on He will be living in the U.S for about 6 months every year and 6 months in India.hopefully till he gets his U.S Citizenship. My Dad is diabetic and has Hypertension. He will be staying in 2 diffrent states N.J & Texas. Which state should I select while buying the insurance? Me , my sister and our brother back in India are fairly placed & would like to provide for the best medical coverage for our Dad. We have been trying to find the best, most comprehensive medical policy which would take care of him in case of any serious illness both in India & the U.S Is there any policy which can take care of Pre-Existing conditions? if not now , atleast after 1 year? can we extend ths same policy for 6 years? Covers Dental & all Prescription Drugs? Also covers the policy holder during his stay abroad? I have searched this nice website : <a href='/new-immigrant-insurance/'>/new-immigrant-insurance/</a> Search Criteria: non us citizen, home country USA, $ 1,000,000 per person Policy Max. age 65-69 , duration 11 months 29 days, yet to arrive. covers anywhere outside country of citizenship including during travel. these r the results: Patriot america - Total $2375.85 ( with co-insurance - 90/10 , deductible -- 2500 ) Patriot Platinum America - Total $ 3239.23 ( with co-insurance -100/0 , deductible -- 2500 ) Protection America - Total $ 2683.34 ( with co-insurance - 80/20 , deductible -- 2500 ) Patriot Gotravel America - Total $ 2190.08 ( with co-insurance - 90/10 , deductible -- 2500 ) does any of the above policies or anything else which anyone of u might have taken before say -- " covers everything for a price of ________ $ ? " sorry for such a lengthy query. thank you for ur time. :)

A:
You sent these queries by email also to me and I sent you the reply asking few questions, but I didn't get any reply. Therefore, I will try to answer the questions here: Which state should I select while buying the insurance? >>> You don't have to select any state. All the plans you mentioned above provide coverage everywhere in the US. He will be living in the U.S for about 6 months every year and 6 months in India. We have been trying to find the best, most comprehensive medical policy which would take care of him in case of any serious illness both in India & the U.S >>> As long as he stays in the US for less than 6 months out of the year, you can buy the policy for him that will cover him in the US and also in India. However, the plans you listed above are not appropriate. Look at /expatriate-health-insurance/ If you want the coverage only while he is here in the US, plans at /new-immigrant-insurance/ are appropriate. Is there any policy which can take care of Pre-Existing conditions? >>> No. if not now , atleast after 1 year? >>> No. can we extend ths same policy for 6 years? >> Yes, for the policies in expatriates section. No, for the policies in the new immigrants section. Covers Dental & all Prescription Drugs? >> Depends upon which product you are referring to. Also covers the policy holder during his stay abroad? >> Yes, for the policies in expatriates section. Mostly no, for the policies in the new immigrants section. does any of the above policies or anything else which anyone of u might have taken before say -- " covers everything for a price of ________ $ ? " >>> No. 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.
