Q:J1 and maternity I have a client which will come to work for a university in August, in Illinois. Ages are 31, 34 and 1 child age 4. They need it for about 2 months, until they get the group plan from the university. They wanted to get maternity coverage, in case that they need it. I could not see plans when selected the maternity option. Please advice

A:
If the individual is already pregnant there is not a plan that will cover her. Conception will have to happen after the effective date some plans require at least 90 days after policy start date. The J1 will of course have to be on the policy for the J2 to receive coverage . Review the Study USA and the Student Health Advantage plans for coverage if she is not already pregnant.

Q:Parents visiting USA with Pre-existing condition I came across your email address while looking up options for medical insurance for my parents who plan to visit the US from Sept 15 to Nov 17 this year. My father will turn 69 tomorrow and is a diabetic with high blood pressure, both of which are under control as of now. He underwent a carotid endarterectomy last year and has been asymptomatic ever since. My mother will turn 62 in December. She underwent heart surgery this past Jan for an aortic dissection and has been asymptomatic as well. She was taking medication for high blood pressure prior to her aortic dissection. Their family doctor has cleared them for all travel. I would like to err on the side of caution and prefer a comprehensive plan. Given these situations, what product would you recommend?

A:
Thank you for your inquiry. Insurance will not pay for any routine dr. visit for the existing condition. But most of the plan covers acute onset of pre-existing conditions up to policy max you choose.
