01.  Long term maternity coverage for Mexican citizen frequently visiting US

questionHi,
I am looking at securing a year long policy because I travel to the U.S. frequently for work. I am looking at the global medical platinum policy because my husband and I are looking to become pregnant in the next couple of months and I see that this is the only plan that has any coverage. Is there a waiting period for pregnancy with this plan? What are the details? I want to make sure I am even eligible before purchasing a full year of coverage and not having anything covered. I am a MX citizen, but I live just across the border. I travel to San Diego and sometimes L.A. for my job and am here for a couple of weeks every couple of months. Thank you!
Danielle

02. Global Insurance options with worldwide coverage for Expats

questionDear Sirs/Madams,
My colleague, his spouse and his child are USA citizens. They work in China for more than 1 year. As they have family in USA, they need to visit their family in USA from time to time. Our company would like to buy the travel insurances or any insurance plan for their USA insurance coverage in case they have any illness and operations in USA trips. Their ages are as follows:

  • Mr. Dieu - 47 years
  • Ms. Jaclyn - 46 years
  • Mr. Wesley - 11 years
I have some requirements for the travel insurance as follows:
  • My colleague Mr. Dieu Quang Lam always has business trips. Take an example, he works in China. He may travel from China to Vietnam to Thailand and then to U.S..Does the travel insurance cover such travel schedule including US?
  • Besides, My colleague's wife has father and mother. In case her father and mother have illness, she needs to return to USA to take care of them for a long period of time. I want to look for the insurance which can cover them the longer period stay in USA.
    If our company pays for annual or lump sum premium, the insurance can offer one year or more than one year insurance coverage for them longer stay in USA.
  • If you have such travel insurance plan, is it possible for our company to keep on buying the such insurance plan so that they are entitled to USA coverage continuously?
  • What is the payment fee for such travel insurance for the adult and his children?
  • I need to buy the insurance for them as soon as possible. If you have some insurance plans which can meet the above requirements, please kindly the travel plan leaflets in English version, the application forms, the payment methods, the travel insurance exclusion terms and conditions to me today.
Thanks,
Catherine

questionDear Catherine,
Here are the answers to your questions:
  • Yes. We have global plans that can cover Expats while they make visits to US and these Global plans cover them in other countries as well.
    Please have a look at our Global plans quote facility and try to get quote for your criteria.
    Please see the details for Global Medical Platinum Plan
  • Again the answer is global plans for this situation. Your colleague and his wife can be covered under one plan.
    Please have a look at our Global plans quote facility and try to get quote for your criteria.
    Global Medical Platinum Plan would be the right choice for this situation.
  • Global Medical Plans are renewable every year. You will receive an email for renewal before the plan end period (12 months). You can renew online or complete a paper renewal form. Make sure that you meet all the eligibility requirements outlined and there are no additional questions during renewal.
  • I can say that the Global Medical Platinum plan specifically costs $13,744 for your colleague, his wife and the child put altogether for the age that you have mentioned which is 47, 46 and 11. This amount is with a deductible of $500 and this amount is for one year.
  • Global Medical Platinum Plan can be purchased online

04. Annual Worldwide Medical Insurance

questionHi,
I am a US citizen living in France. I would appreciate a yearly medical coverage for travel worldwide. My DoB is 13/10/1946 and I prefer paying in US$. My home address is Port Washington, NY but as mentioned above, I live in France and travel all over the world.
Your earliest reply and offer would be much appreciated.
Sincerely,
Peter

questionDear Peter,
It sounds from your email that you would benefit from a global health insurance plan. It works anywhere in the world you travel. These plans are not guaranteed, and you must fill out an extensive application with all your medical history in it. The company may (1) reject your application, (2) accept your application, or (3) accept your application with additional riders. I will put information below on a very good set of plans and then put a general link so you can browse other options at the end of the email. The Global Medical Policies offered by IMG are excellent and popular choices for long term international insurance. The policy will cover you while you are traveling outside your home country of citizenship as well as in your home country. The advantage of a global health policy is that once you are accepted onto the plan, you are guaranteed coverage year after year and the only price increase will be due to age (they cannot increase your rate due to a new health issue).

The Global Medical Silver plan is a fixed plan which may work well in countries where medical costs are low. The Global Medical Gold, GoldPlus, and Platinum are comprehensive policies. The Global Medical Gold can be renewed for more than three years, however, in the fourth year, benefits are reduced. For continuous coverage after the third year, you should choose the Global Medical Gold Plus plan. The Global Medical Platinum offers complete medical coverage even for maternity costs.
For a brochure of the plan and to purchase or get a quote for the policy, use the link below: (Please note that you will choose how you want to pay (monthly, quarterly, biannually, or annually) at the beginning of the application and you will not be able to change this later) use the link below:

Here is a link to browse all global health insurance options. If you think you will not qualify for one of these due to health issues, you might also consider short term plans (which can be purchased for 12 months as well). Let us know if you would like to know more about these options and we would be happy to send more information.

questionDear Angela,

06. Health Insurance Covers Dental Issues for American, staying in Germany

questionHi,

I am an American living in Germany. If I buy a dental plan, will I be covered here? If not, could you possibly recommend a stand-alone dental plan that would cover me in Germany?
Thank you kindly,
Charlie D

questionDear Charlie,

We do not offer a stand-alone dental plan. The Global Medical plans which are long term plans do offer dental and vision as riders to their plans (included in the Platinum plan). You can compare global travel insurance, but they are meant for at least one year coverage. Here are links for global health insurance policies in case they may apply:

Thank you,
G. Brian Longpre

questionDear Brian,

Thank you for contacting us at American Visitor Insurance for your visitor medical insurance needs to visit the US!
. If you can spend 6 months or less in the USA then we can suggest the Global Medical series. 1. Global Medical Platinum/Gold/Silver: The Global Medical series is an excellent range of plans. Platinum providing the most extensive coverage and Silver providing more limited coverage. To be eligible for this plan non-US citizens holding a Greencard and electing coverage in the US only with no travel back to home country must not be in any way eligible for any domestic insurance.
