Visitors and Students Maternity and Pregnancy Health Insurance

Wednesday, April 1st, 2009

The news of a pregnancy should be a joyous and momentous occasion. For some that are without health insurance, it may also bring some additional stress. If you are already pregnant and don’t have health coverage, unfortunately, there is NO insurance that is available for you that will pay for the costs of delivery. Remember, that insurance companies take a risk with many people (each paying a premium) only a few will actually need to dip into the money they put up front for their insurance. If insurance companies paid for people already pregnant, or dental insurance for those with a toothache, they would seriously lose money! The only possibility available will cover complications within the first 26 weeks of gestation.

So, the best thing is if you are THINKING about getting pregnant while traveling from home overseas or this is a remote POSSIBILITY, then get insurance NOW!! Some of the best plans are for international students. The shortest waiting time for pregnancy coverage (and it’s minimal) is 3 months (pre-conception). The standard time for good major medical coverage is 12 months (10 months for partial coverage). Please visit us at American visitor insurance or call us to review what options might be best for you. We have a complete article available at: Maternity insurance options

If you are already pregnant and covering the birth is not an option, you should still consider getting some kind of insurance that can cover sudden illness or accident that may befall you – remember, you should never put off taking care of your health and that is especially true now that you are expecting.

How can you cover your pregnancy? Well, you can negotiate with your doctors and hospital. Tell them you do not have insurance and they may well cut their bills in half for you (after all, they do that for medicare and insurance companies, so why not you too?). You can shop around for economical care. Also, you can check out local churches and charities to see if you can get any help with those bills and even pre-natal care. Once the little one is born, be sure you have coverage for him or her at the very least in case of accident or illness. You’ll have lots of post-natal visits with your pediatrician, so you should find a doctor and negotiate the cost of those visits. Don’t forget that local county or city government may have immunization clinics at low or no cost to you! Congratulations and good luck!

visitors insurance

Tuesday, March 17th, 2009

It is the end of a long winter, and the coming of spring is an ideal time to have family members visit you in the USA. This is especially true for Indians who are used to warmer weather and find American winters challenging.

Why Visitor medical insurance ?
Visitors, in particular parents and elder relatives take some time adjusting to the new environs. Beyond the initial jet lag, there are changes in weather, water, food, clothing to consider. While you can take precautions for minor ailments by ensuring that they get any medications that they currently use, or even get a spare pair of glasses, you should also prepare for unplanned but possible catastrophic medical situations, such as an accident, or somebody falling down and having to undergo surgery. Any situation which results in visiting an American hospital can be a serious drain on one’s finances, even during good financial conditions. Even a few hours in a hospital can result in thousands of dollars of medical expenses, and it is not at all an exaggeration that an overnights stay can result in tens of thousands of dollars in medical bills. In this context, it is always prudent to purchase visitors medical insurance.

Why Americanvisitorinsurance ?
Visitors insurance can be confusing for anyone outside the insurance industry. There are several insurance providers, different types of insurance plans, fixed benefits versus comprehensive plans, new concepts like deductibles, PPO network, co-insurance and so on. To help you understand these insurance concepts easily and to be able to compare and then purchase visitors insurance for travelers to America, at American Visitor Insurance, we have developed different tools. Our visitor insurance glossary and FAQ section help you understand the commonly used insurance concepts while our visitor insurance comparison tool will help you compare the different options, select and buy the plan that satisfies your requirements best.

The purchase process.
You will need basic information about the traveler such as the applicants date of birth, passport number, the travel dates and a beneficiary for the policy. On selecting an appropriate visitor insurance plan, you can purchase the plan online in a matter of minutes using a credit card. Immediately after completing the transaction, you will get a email which has all the relevant information about the insurance plan. Unless you choose the online fulfilment option, you will also get the policy document by regular mail in 4-5 business days.

Using the insurance policy.
After completing the online purchase of visitors insurance, you will get the insurance policy details, which will have a policy number as well as the relevant toll free numbers to contact in the event of having to get medical treatment. If time permits, it is recommended that you call the insurance company toll free number, and they will guide you forward on getting appropriate treatment. If your insurance plan has a PPO network, it is recommended that you use the doctor or hospital which is part of the network. Using the PPO network will facilitate cashless settlement (direct billing with the hospital), remove any penalty for being outside network and in some instances even take care of any co-insurance that you might have to pay. If you are unable to call the insurance toll free number prior to visiting a hospital (in the event of any emergency), you should call the insurance company as soon as you can, and inform them of the medical treatment that the visitor is gettin. You should then submit the insurance claims form. You can always contact us at www.americanvisitorinsurance.com if you need help with the claims procedure.

PPO network for visitors insurance

Monday, March 16th, 2009

Using PPO network for visitor insurance

A PPO (Preferred Provider Organization) consists of hospitals, doctors and other healthcare facilities which provide services at a pre-determined rate for clients of the insurance administrator. Some insurers require clients to use only their PPO network, and might even deny claims if customers go outside their PPO.

Insurers reduce administrative costs and provide cheaper service by working within PPO. This also helps the healthcare provider to bill the insurance provider directly thus offering cashless settlements.

When purchasing visitor travel insurance, do check the PPO network of the different plans. Find out the PPO network in your zip code, as well of whether prior notification is required before using the insurance policy.

The PPO network information is provided in our website in our visitor insurance comparison tool. The Atlas America insurance plan administered by Multinational Underwriters even waives the coinsurance when customers use their PPO network.
