Your deductible cannot exceed $500 per accident or illness. Your policy must begin on the same day you enter the U.S. (which means you will need to purchase this coverage BEFORE you arrive in the U.S.) Your policy must be effective until the day you leave the U.S. after the completion of your program. Please recommend best policy and send me the link to take Insurance policy thanks

A:
Thank you for your interest in purchasing J1 visa insurance. There is no plan available in the market exactly as described due to the following reasons: 1. Maternity or pregnancy care. It is usually not covered in any short term plan. However, it may be covered in some plans as long as you are not already pregnant at the time of effective date. 2. Emergency Medical Evacuation. All plans evacuate the person to the nearest place where adequate care can be given and not necessarily to home country. Please read /emergency-medical-evacuation-to-india/ for further information. Please check whether your school whether they would accept the plan with the above two restrictions. Once you get back to us, we would be glad to suggest you the suitable plan that would meet the requirements.

Q:Sky Rescue Insurance Hello, I had some questions about your medical evacuation procedures. My husband and I are current customers but we are working at a mission base that is looking at the importance of having evacuation insurance for the staff. Our phones are currently not working so I am sending an email, sorry. Our mission is based on a tiny island in the Caribbean. We are on the island of Mayreau. It is part of St. Vincent and the Grenadines. We do not have an airport. Is one needed? Are you able to access most areas? We have a big enough area of cleared land to land a helicopter but it has a downward grade and is not smooth. Is that something you can work with or would we need to get a boat to another island to have you land? We can get a speed boat to the island with an airport but the airport closes at nighttime. Is this a problem? Also, if there is a life or death emergency, how fast can you get to us? Thank you so much. Again, I am sorry we couldn't do this over the phone.

A:
Thank you for your interest in purchasing emergency medical evacuation insurance. You can consider purchasing the Sky Rescue plan at /trip-cancellation-insurance/ The following are the answers to your questions. We do not have an airport. Is one needed? No, we have a variety evacuation providers that employ a variety of methods to conduct evacuations. Are you able to access most areas? Yes, by plane, helicopter, boat, ambulance, etc. We have utilized many different methods to evacuate our insurds. We have a big enough area of cleared land to land a helicopter but it has a downward grade and is not smooth. Is that something you can work with or would we need to get a boat to another island to have you land? We would coordinate with a local evacuation provider and the treating physician to determine the best, most efficient means necessary to conduct the evacuation. We can get a speed boat to the island with an airport but the airport closes at nighttime. Is this a problem? We would coordinate with a local Evacuation provider and treating physician to determine the severity of the condition and thus the most efficient and quickest method of evacuation to the nearest qualified facility. Also, if there is a life or death emergency, how fast can you get to us? In all cases, the process begins immediately. The time it takes depends on how quick we can coordinate an evacuation provider that has the necessary transportation available at that time. If you have any other questions, please feel free to contact us at any time.

Q:Confirming insurance eligibility Hi, My wife and I are moving from Australia to to Seattle, WA on the E3 visa. We are Australian citizens and require medical insurance from September 29 until I commence work on October 6. Is the Inbound USA Visitors applicable? If so, I could not choose Washington from the Residence drop down list. Is there another insurance policy suitable for us? Thanks, - - - Updated - - - Is the following policy suitable given our circumstances outlined in the first email? /safe-travels-usa-cost-saver/visitors-insurance/ Thanks heaps for your help!

A:
Thank you for your interest in purchasing insurance through us. If you are coming to US on E3visa. You can’t purchase Safe Travel plan. You need to purchase Patriot America plan. Which is very similar to Safe travel plan. Patriot America brochure, instant purchase and other useful information, /patriot-america-lite-insurance/ You can also look at other plans at, /new-immigrant-insurance/ Please enter appropriate criteria and you will find some plans. You can compare them side by side. If you have any further questions feel free to contact us. Hi, Thank you for the advice. Where/what is the wording in the Safe Travel Plan policy that prevents E3 visa cover? I read the online wording and would like to know so I can check other policies, including Patriot America. Regards, Safe Travels USA plan is designed to be purchased who need coverage outside their home country. As E3 visa is a resident non-immigrant visa, you will be living in the US and your home country would be considered US. Therefore, you can’t get the coverage in the US under Safe Travels USA. However, as you are non-US citizen, the Patriot America plans allows you to put either USA or Australia (country of citizenship) as your home country irrespective of where you live. Therefore, in order to get the coverage in the US, you can put your home country as Australia in Patriot America. You can’t do the same for Safe Travels USA as in that plan, where you live is your home country. I hope that answers your questions. If you have any other questions, please let us know.

Q:Pre-existing conditions - Advance answer for coverage Hi, I am looking to buy health insurance for my in laws who will be visiting US (New Jersey) in the week on Sept 19th. I had few questions related to policy etc and will greatly appreciate if you can answer them:- 1) Do I need to buy same type of insurance for both parents? Can I buy insurance from Atlas America with lower deductible for one person and another insurance from some other company with different deductible for his spouse? 2) The return date for my in laws is not yet finalized ( obviously it will be within 6 months of arrival). If I purchase insurance for 6 months, will I get refund for the remaining period should they decide to head back early? 3) My mother in law had some GI problems more than a year back. She took the necessary treatment in India and now she is back to normal. However if the problem re-occurs during her stay in USA, will it be covered if I take the comprehensive plan with pre-existing coverage? Do you anticipate any issues here? I have already read your FAQ on this but any further clarification will help to avoid frustration later on 4) In case there is a need to visit doctor during their stay, how the claim process will work? Will I get a card or member ID for them which when produced at doctor’s office will suffice for getting treatment? Or Do I need to pay upfront fees and then claim it later (not preferable option for me though)? 5) Where can I get a list of in network doctor for a particular plan? PS - BTW I just observed that if I google for your contact email I get a different email ID than if I come to your site through immihelp. Was little confused where to send email. Regards,

A:
Thank you for your interest in purchasing visitors insurance. 1. You can purchase different plan for each person. 2. Refund rules vary for each plan. Next to each plan that is refundable, you will see a link that says ‘Refundable’ and that will show the refund rule. Please look at /visitor-insurance/ 3. Our FAQ is the best clarification we can provide. 4. Please read /what-is-visitors-insurance/ for in-network claims. Yes, you will receive ID card. 5. Next to each plan that has PPO network, you will see a link ‘Direct Billing…’ at /visitor-insurance/ You can search for the participating providers there. We use different email addresses just for tracking purposes to see where the requests are coming from. Irrespective of the email address, they all come to the same place and answered by the same people. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact us at any time. Thx.. Pls clarify on point # 3 below. Will the plan cover treatment related to GI problems if they resurface? Your explanation in FAQ doesn't give direct answer on this. I want to have absolute clarity on this before purchasing from you which is why I am disclosing the condition to you. There is no way to make the assessment in advance for any specific medical condition. It is determined at the time, after the fact, based on the medical records and the attending physician report, whether something is a pre-existing condition, an acute onset of pre-existing condition, sudden and unexpected recurrence of pre-existing condition or excluded medical condition. But when insurance companies say that they cover acute onset of pre existing condition, doesn't it mean it covers any medical problem of the past which got re-surfaced due to any reason while policy is effective? All I am trying to understand is that if i have to take my mom to a hospital due to an illness which she had in the past (but now she is normal and doesn't need doctor visit) will she come under the purview of pre existing coverage or not. I know it is specific to an individual but based on the info I have provided can we not figure out anything? I am not necessarily looking for a YES answer here but need clarity. Regards Please read /visitor-insurance-acute-onset-of-pre-existing-conditions/ That is the best clarify I can give.
