Q:My son and I are US citizens, but I live and work in Korea. I pay state and federal taxes and I think I might be considered a US resident, but I have been living and working in Korea and I plan to stay in Korea for a while. I am visiting the US for my 3 week vacation. I hear that many insurance companies do not cover US citizens visiting their home country even though they work and live in another country. I was wondering if I can be covered with insubuy with my current situation.

A:
We would be glad to advise. You are correct, there are just a few plans that will cover a U.S. citizen visiting, but we do offer plans that will. You would just enter your information into our Visitors to the U.S. quote screen to get quotes. It will ask your country of citizenship, so when you enter U.S., it will automatically only provide those plans that will work. When filling out any application, if it asks for your home or residence country, you would enter Korea, as that is where you currently reside. If you have any questions, or need any additional assistance, please let us know.

Q:I understand that for acute onset of pre-existing illness, the insured person must seek treatment within 24 hours. I found detailed explanations in insubuy website for acute onset or pre-existing illness and sudden recurrence of previous illness. But I could not find much about coverage for acute illness. How soon a insured person seek medical treatment for acute illness? For example the insured person falls, and after 2-3 days he/she develops pain in hand. Goes to a physician and it is found that he/she has a fracture and gets plastered or surgery. Will this claim be covered? Another example- a person is having fever for 3 -4 days, now develops cough and condition gets worse on 5th day and goes to see a physician in office. Will this visit be covered? Does a person have to seek treatment within 24 hours for all acute condition for insurance coverage? My concern is sometimes ( and in many cases often), symptoms gradually gets worse and he/she seek treatment when condition gets concerning.

A:
Thank you for contacting Insubuy for your insurance needs. The acute onset coverage is going to have the stipulation to have treatment within 24 hours. This benefit is specifically tailored to the pre-existing conditions. The plans will cover the new accident and new illnesses that happen after the effective date of the policy and will not have that stipulation. As long as the new accident or illness happens after the effective date of the policy the plan will cove whatever is medically necessary in accordance with the certificate wording for the policy. If you need any additional clarification please feel free to contact our office.

Q:I have a question about Safe Travels USA Cost Saver Travel Insurance. it states that Deductible waived within PPO network pays 100% to policy max. So does it mean if I will use the hospital or doctor in PPO network I do not need to pay a deductible. the only time I will pay the deductible is if I am using out of network hospital or doctor. is that correct?

A:
Your understanding is correct. For pharmacy there is no network so it's considered as out of network benefits. You can purchase the Safe Travels USA Cost Saver. Please feel free to contact us if you need any further clarification.
