Since the announcement that new immigrants into the US should not impose a burden on the healthcare system of the US by President Trump on October 4, 2019, we have seen the calls, emails and general inquiries for visitor insurance, particularly for new immigrants explode! While the proclamation seems to apply only for persons seeking permanent resident status (an eventual “green card”), it seems that consulates all over the world, particularly in Latin America, are applying the rule for even tourist entry. Citizens of many countries have to obtain a visa and have an interview for even a pleasure trip into the US. It seems many people are being required to show proof of insurance for their time in the US.
Fortunately, here at American Visitor Insurance, we sell private insurance that will cover a person’s unforeseen medical situations while they are here in the US. Whether you are a new immigrant or a short-term tourist, you can find the best coverage for USA to fit your needs and budget. Plans will produce a “visa letter” which will list out the coverage of the plan and is considered an official document even though you print it out yourself. It is included or accessible immediately after your purchase in the confirmation email you get after your purchase is complete.
