US Immigrant Medical insurance - FAQ's

1. Why do immigrants need US immigrant insurance?

  • It is very risky for anyone to be uninsured in the US, especially new immigrants who soon after arriving in the USA are particularly vulnerable given the new environment that they are in.
  • There is a waiting period till new US immigrants are eligible for Medicare or to purchase domestic health insurance. Immigrants can however buy new US immigrant insurance plans as an interim coverage.

2. Can a US immigrant get health insurance?

Yes, there is immigrant health insurance, or health insurance for permanent residents available. However it must be noted that domestic US medical insurance for Green card holders including Medicare and Medicaid have a waiting period of five years. US immigrants are eligible for Medicaid coverage only if they satisfy the resident state’s income or residency rules. It is important to buy temporary US immigrant health insurance till Green card holders become eligible for domestic insurance plans. The visitor health insurance plans that we offer also work very well as health insurance while waiting for Green card. Given the high cost of US health care, it is very important to have health insurance for elderly immigrant parents and medical insurance for Green card holders even before they become eligible for domestic US plans
