US visitor insurance for senior citizens

No matter what your age, American Visitor Insurance has some medical best international medical insurance options for you! However, at certain age brackets the options do become more limited which is why I have put this article together.

For traveler's in their 60's

There are still many insurance options available for travelers over 60 years with up to $1,000,000 policy maximums. In this group, you can also get fairly good coverage for sudden and acute onset of pre-existing conditions with some plans.

Atlas America offers limited benefit up to the medical coverage maximum (excludes chronic and congenital conditions). The Inbound USA covers sudden and unexpected recurrence of a pre-existing condition in the same, limited way as any other condition (it is a fixed plan).

Patriot America Plus offers up to plan maximum for pre-existing conditions up to 70 years. Patriot Platinum offer pre-existing condition coverage up to $50,000 for non-US citizens under 65. INF Elite Plan is a comprehensive plan and is the plan with excellent coverage. This plan covers all pre existing conditions including blood tess, doctor appointments, specialist care...for US and NON US citizens coming to the US.

This plan provides a maximum of $25,000 for pre existing conditions up to age 69 subjected to a deductible of $1,500. This plan need to be purchased for a minimum of 3 months. INF Traveler USA Plan is another comprehensive plan from INF and unique feature of this plan is that it covers Urinary Tract Infections which is common among older travelers. This plan provides a policy max option of $75,000 and $150,000 with a deductible of $500. It does not cover pre existing conditions.

For traveler's in their 70's

Visitor insurance for persons in their 70's include most policies that offer maximums of $50,000, although a few (Patriot Platinum, Diplomat America) offer up to $100,000 maximum policies. The only coverage for pre-existing conditions is now very limited, mostly to heart attack and stroke up to usually $2,500 (Visitor's Care).

The Patriot plan (Patriot Platinum) offer up to $2,500 of coverage for pre-existing conditions with no specific limitation to illness. INF Elite Plan provides a maximum of $20,000 for people over 70 up to the age of 99 for coverage of pre existing conditions. This plan is definitely the most suitable for people with pre existing condition as it is the full pre existing coverage plan. INF Traveler USA Plan provides a policy maximum of $75,000 for people over 70 up to the age of 99. This plan covers Urinary Tract infection for older travelers above 70 years.

In this age group, we still recommend a comprehensive plan since they provide more complete coverage. You can bring down the cost of these plans by opting for a high deductible ($1000 or $2500) and still protect yourself against a large medical bill.

For traveler's in their 80's

Once a person hits their 80s and higher (and still traveling -- way to go!), my advice is quite different. In this age group, Inbound USA offers fixed benefit coverage. INF Elite Plan provides a maximum of $20,000 for people over 70 up to the age of 99 for coverage of pre existing conditions. This plan is definitely the most suitable for people with pre existing condition as it is the full pre existing coverage plan.

INF Traveler USA Plan provides a policy maximum of $75,000 for people over 70 up to the age of 99.This plan covers Urinary Tract infection for older travelers above 70 years. This plan does not cover pre existing conditions including acute onset of pre existing conditions.

Some clients worry about the name of this policy. While it is meant for immigrants to the US with or without green cards renewable up to 5 years, it is also available for any legal visitors to our lovely country. You can review all travel insurance plans suitable for travelers aged above 80 years.

All plans we offer have emergency medical evacuation and repatriation no matter the type or maximum. The main question to decide upon is what you want to insure yourself against. Some customers are worried about the small, but more likely expenses like seasonal flu, stomach issues, etc that are common for travelers. Fixed plans will cover these sorts of things fairly well although they may never cover 100% of your expenses. If, on the other hand, you want to insure yourself against a major catastrophic medical bill, then for those under 80, a comprehensive plan with a high deductible is what I would recommend.

Best travel insurance for over 90 year travelers

Traveling as one gets older is admirable, but it must be understood that the risk of an unexpected medical emergency increases and even a minor injury or illness can lead to hospitalization. While traveling in a foreign country, especially in the US or Europe, given the high cost of healthcare, travel insurance for seniors over 90 years is extremely important and can protect senior travelers from huge financial loss in the event of an medical emergency.

Visitors insurance even for 90+ year old senior travelers is available with suitable benefits. Compare these US travel health insurance over 90 years seniors offered by reputed US insurance companies. Travelers can get quotes and buy travel health insurance for seniors over 90 years.

Travel health insurance for older US travelers (65+ years)

Many older US citizens have already received the Covid19 vaccination in the United States. This has enabled them the opportunity to travel fairly early in 2021 after being forced to stay within safe bubble environments for all of 2020.

However it is prudent to travel to countries where the health care infrastructure is reliable and not under stress due to the current pandemic.

It is even more important to have adequate travel health insurance for your travels. Globehopper insurance offered by International Medical Group (IMG) is a travel health insurance plan specifically designed for US citizens and US permanent residents 65 years and older.

Senior Citizens travel

The GlobeHopper Senior plan is available either as the GlobeHopper Single-Trip Plan for single trips with coverage from 5 days to 365 days, or as the GlobeHopper Multi-Trip Plan which covers a period of 12 months with a maximum of 30 days for each overseas trip. The GlobeHopper Senior plan is very popular as it provides coverage up to $1 million for travelers less than 79 years and $100,000 for travelers more than 80 years old. The plan includes $2,500 cover for sudden unexpected recurrence of an existing medical ailment and $25,000 for emergency medical evacuation.

Coronavirus Coverage for seniors above the age of 65+

Coronavirus pandemic has hugely disrupted international travel all around the globe. It has effected all age groups and the Omicron and new Delta variants is considered to be more contagious and is effecting vaccinated population too.

With the vaccine rolls outs across all countries, travel has slowly stared. However, travelers who are aged above 65 need to be very cautious and take all precautions before travelling. There are some good Covid -19 cover plans for senior citizens that can be purchased before travelling. They offer coverage for coronavirus illness regardless of which variant the illness caused.

The I-94 form is a government doc that can be filled out on line, they should choose “Get most Recent” on the website here: https://i94.cbp.dhs.gov/ and you should complete this “health attestation form”.

Can I purchase INF travel medical insurance if I already have pre-existing conditions?

Yes, you can purchase INF travel medical insurance even if you have pre-existing conditions. INF offers Premier, Elite, Elite Plus and Elite 90 plans that provide coverage for pre-existing conditions. However, coverage for pre-existing conditions may have some limitations and exclusions depending on the plan and your specific condition. It is important to carefully review the policy details and ensure that the coverage meets your specific needs.

What is INF travel medical insurance for pre-existing conditions?

INF travel medical insurance for pre-existing conditions is a type of travel insurance that provides coverage for individuals who have pre-existing medical conditions. These conditions can include chronic illnesses such as diabetes, heart disease, or cancer, or any other condition that requires regular medical treatment or attention.

The INF insurance plans are designed to provide coverage for medical emergencies and unexpected medical events that may occur while traveling. The plans include benefits such as hospitalization, doctor visits, prescription medication, emergency medical evacuation, and more.

INF offers several insurance plans for travelers with pre-existing conditions, including the INF Premier, INF Elite, INF Elite Plus and INF Elite 90. These plans have varying levels of coverage and benefits, so it is important to review each plan carefully to determine which one best fits your specific needs.

What is the advantage of having the United Healthcare PPO in visitors insurance offered by INF?

The INF plans use the United Healthcare Preferred Provider Organisation (PPO). This means that even if the pre-existing coverage limit is low, customers will still be able to access the full PPO discounts via United Health Care (UHC).

For example : A customer has to go to the Emergency Room (ER) for blood pressure and get a bill of $10,000 and the customer has the INF HOP UltraPlus plan. Although the UltraPlus covers $700 for pre-existing, the customer will get the PPO discount on the bill since it is covered. This in itself can translate to very significant savings such as an 80% discount + $700 paid out. This means your total coverage was $8,700 and out of pocket expense is only $1,300.

What is visitors insurance for pre-existing conditions?

There are several visitors insurance plans available for international travel. However, many travel insurance and visitors insurance plans exclude pre-existing conditions. This means that a travel insurance plan will not cover the costs of treating a pre-existing medical condition. Therefore, the insurance company may deny a claim if the ailment already existed when the travel insurance was purchased. However, there are some travel medical insurance plans that offer coverage for pre-existing conditions and the policy clearly defines a look-back period and what is covered for pre-existing conditions, as well as specifying a limit to this coverage.

Some travel health insurance plans like Atlas America, Patriot America Plus offer coverage for the acute onset of a pre-existing conditions, ie, when there is a sudden medical emergency without any prior symptom that needs to be treated immediately. The coverage typically includes emergency medical treatment, hospitalization, and evacuation expenses related to the acute onset of the pre-existing condition. INF insurance however has the INF Elite insurance plans which cover pre-existing conditions going beyond the acute onset coverage. It is important to compare visitors insurance for pre-existing conditions both for the price as well as the specific details for pre-existing conditions coverage as well as review the policy brochures for exclusions and coverage limits before making a decision.

How does travel insurance for pre-existing conditions work?

The travel health insurance plans which cover pre-existing conditions have clear definitions of what is a pre-existing condition, the look back period for pre-existing condition, whether the travel insurance coverage is limited to acute onset of pre-existing conditions, and if it provides full coverage for pre-existing conditions the coverage limit within the policy for pre-existing conditons. Any travel health insurance coverage for pre-existing conditions will depend on all these.

Factors to consider while purchasing visitors health insurance for pre existing conditions?

The following are important factors for buying travel insurance for pre-existing conditions

  1. The definition of pre-existing conditions and the look back period under the policy.
  2. The eligibility age limit for pre-existing conditions coverage.
  3. Whether pre-existing condition coverage is limited to acute onset of pre-existing conditions.
  4. The coverage limit for pre-existing conditions which is different from the policy medical maximum.
  5. The deductible and out of pocket expenses for pre-existing conditions coverage.

Why is travel health insurance for pre-existing conditions coverage important?

There are many international travelers who have medical ailments and it is important for them to be well informed about visitors insurance for pre-existing conditions. Many of the regular travel insurance plans exclude any coverage for pre-existing conditions. The definition of pre-existing conditions varies for different insurance providers as they have a ‘look back’ period and any medical ailments during this look back period would be considered pre-existing. At American Visitor Insurance, we offer plans which do offer coverage for acute onset of a pre-existing condition, as well as full coverage for pre-existing conditions up to a clearly defined limit in the policy document. All of these details can be better understood by using our facility for comparing visitors insurance for pre-existing conditions.

Pre-existing conditions coverage - FAQ's

01. How do I know if my pre-existing condition is covered by travel insurance?

Unfortunately, this simple question has a fairly complicated answer. The answer is: it depends. Firstly, it depends on whether you are a US resident traveling outside the US or a visitor to the US. US residents can purchase trip cancellation insurance that can cover pre-existing conditions and even plans that are travel medical only without cancellation often are more generous in their coverage of pre-existing conditions. These plans may have specific requirements in order to waive the usual exclusion of coverage for pre-existing conditions (like purchase them within a certain number of days of your initial trip deposit or that you have a primary domestic insurance plan in the US), so you should check these details carefully if this is important to you.

Non-US residents or US residents traveling into the US have much more limited options to insure their pre-existing conditions are covered. Some plans offer coverage for "acute onset" of pre-existing conditions. However, this is misleading, since a careful look at their definition excludes chronic or congenital disorders from such coverage. Chronic illnesses are those that worsen over time and congenital disorders are issues one is born with. They exclude emergencies due to chronic illness because they will say that is not "acute" it is simply a worsening of your condition. There are only two policies we know of that offer coverage for pre-existing medical conditions. They are INF Premier and INF Elite plans.

Firstly, they define pre-existing conditions in the following way: A pre-existing condition is a condition for which the insured received treatment or took medication for in the previous 12 months before the start of the policy. If the medication dosage has not changed and is taken as a maintenance medication, this would NOT count as a flare up or treatment of the condition. In that case, very stable conditions that have no flare ups in the past 12 months are not even excluded as pre-existing conditions. Conditions that have had flare ups or doctor recommended treatment or change in medication, are still covered by the plans but with a higher deductible and a lower maximum.

INF Elite (also INF Elite 90) are comprehensive plans offering fairly complete coverage. INF Premier is a fixed plan. Find details on these plans here.

The above plans must be purchased for at least 90 days and can be quite pricey for seniors, but they offer the only real coverage for chronic conditions.

The other option, of course, is to take a plans with little ($1K) or no coverage for pre-existing conditions and take a risk that that condition will not flare up during the trip.

02. What does full coverage for Pre-Existing Conditions mean?

INF plans boast they offer "full" coverage for pre-existing conditions. This can be a little misleading. Firstly, any regular treatment or medication that is required by the condition is never covered. The main advantage to the INF Elite and INF Premier is that they cover sudden illness/injury regardless of whether it is pre-existing or not. The only difference is that a pre-existing condition will be covered with a higher deductible at at a lower maximum than any other "new" illness or injury. However, coverage is not limited to an emergency or life-threatening situation.

03. What does "acute onset of pre-existing conditions" mean?

The "Acute Onset of a Pre-Existing Condition" is a sudden and unexpected outbreak or recurrence of a pre-existing medical condition which occurs without any advance warning either in the form of physician recommendations or symptoms and requires immediate care (within 24 hours of first symptoms). A Pre-Existing Condition that is a chronic or congenital condition or that gradually becomes worse over time will not be considered acute onset.

The acute onset coverage benefit does not include coverage for known, scheduled, required, or expected medical care, drugs or treatment existent or necessary prior to the effective date of coverage. An example of this might be someone who has a food allergy or bee allergy and is unknowingly exposed to their allergen and requires immediate medical attention.

04. What is the difference between Full Pre-Existing & Acute Onset Insurance?

Acute onset of a pre-existing condition can be defined as the sudden & unexpected occurrence of a pre-existing condition which requires in-patient, emergency hospitalization within 24 hours of exhibiting first symptoms. The main difference between acute onset & full pre-existing is that with Full Pre-Existing coverage, is that one is covered for all pre-existing conditions and associated medical costs and this includes follow up visits, hospitalizations and doctor’s visits, etc. The acute onset coverage will only cover the in-patient hospitalization expense.

05. What are the limits of Full Pre-Existing plans under INF travel insurance?

Full Pre-existing means we will cover any issue regarding a pre-existing condition, however, if one is traveling to the United States solely for medical treatment, that will not be covered. INF plans do not cover any medical tourism related claims. Pre-existing conditions under the INF plans are covered with a higher deductible and a lower maximum than other illnesses or injuries. These are chosen or specified when you purchase you plan.

06. Do INF travel insurance plans really cover all pre-existing conditions?

Yes, the INF policies will cover any pre-existing issue that the traveler may have during their stay in the United States. This includes blood pressure, diabetes, kidney related issues and arthritis, all of which are covered by the INF Premier, INF Premier Plus, INF Elite, INF Elite Plus and INF Elite 90, Hop Travel Assist, Hop Mindoro Assist, Hop WorldHopper, Hop Trip Assist Plus Plans.

07. Why are Full Pre-Existing plans more expensive than other visitors insurance plans?

The insurance company takes on an enormous risk by insuring individuals and including coverage for pre-existing conditions without any prior medical examination. Under the INF plans, you are paying more, but you are getting the full value for the money you pay given the very high cost of US healthcare. With the INF Premier, INF Premier Plus, INF Elite, INF Elite Plus and INF Elite 90, Hop Travel Assist, Hop Mindoro Assist, Hop WorldHopper, Hop Trip Assist Plus Plans, even though it is expensive, you can have the comfort of knowing that you are covered for any emergency or contingency. This peace of mind given the expensive US healthcare expense is what makes INF plans worth it despite being expensive.

08. What services are covered under visitors insurance full pre-existing coverage?

The list of covered services under Visitors insurance full pre-existing conditions coverage can be found on the American Visitor Insurance website of the INF Premier, INF Premier Plus, INF Elite, INF Elite Plus and INF Elite 90, Hop Travel Assist, Hop Mindoro Assist, Hop WorldHopper, Hop Trip Assist Plus Plan pages. INF plans are open to green card holders

Unfortunately, the comprehensive visitors insurance for over 80 years are only for $20,000 and $10,000 maximum and I don’t think the high price tag is justified since the maximum coverage is so low (a broken bone in the hospital for three days can easily run you $40,000).

While Inbound Choice Insurance is meant for immigrants to the US with or without green cards renewable up to 3 years, it is also available for any legal visitors to our lovely country. Senior Travelers above 90 years are also eligible to buy the Inbound USA Basic and Inbound USA Choice insurance.
