Visitors Insurance for Senior Citizens Forum

Dear American Visitor Insurance,

Please provide any insurance options for travel insurance for my parents (to come to the US from Canada for short trips - 2 weeks to a month). My dad is 85 and mum is 76. We're concerned about them traveling without insurance and wondered if any options exist given their age.
Thanks,
John

Hi,

My parents who are 90 and 84 years are visiting me in the US. I am having a difficult time finding any plans using your quote comparison facility. Please help.
Thank you,
Anne

ear Anne,

Thank you for visiting American Visitor Insurance for your family travel insurance needs. Given your parents age, there are limited insurance options, and you need to choose a low medical maximum to find the options for your elderly parents. The reason is that with older travelers, the maximums of policies that are available go down. So, the first thing you must do is look up results for each person separately. If you don’t then the younger traveler ends up with the same limitations as the older one.For people above 80 and 90, the best option currently is provided by the company INF. INF Elite network short term plan is a comprehensive plan and INF Premier short term plan is a fixed plan that provides full pre existing condition coverage up to age 99.The Elite plan has a fixed pre-existing condition maximum limit up to which the pre-existing condition would be covered.

Hello,

I am interested to buy the visitor insurance for my parents but I have a few questions.
What are the restricted plans in the state of New York?
What plans pay the bill directly to the provider?
Which PPO network is good? United Health Care or First Health network?
If you can answer them that will be great!
Thank you!
Harish

Dear Harish,

Thank you for contacting us for your Older traveler US health insurance needs!
Following our conversation, I spoke to International Medical Group (IMG) insurance company regarding their plans(including Patriot plans).
Their plans do not have state restriction for the state of New York.
As I already mentioned, the Atlas plan specifies in the brochure that they do direct billing with the provider if you go to a facility within the PPO network. IMG also said that they have contract with some providers in their network where they do direct billing with them. So, you need to check that with the provider during your claim.
Regarding the First Health and the United Healthcare network, both are large networks across the country. There is not much specifically that we can differentiate about them.

Dear Prathmesh,

You can put married couples together on a policy although each has their own deductible and maximum. However, you can also purchase separately if, for example, one person has a pre-existing medical condition and the other doesn't OR if they are from different age groups (70 year old has more limitations on their plan than a 60 yr old, so you should buy separately).

Hi,

I am helping a friend find travel health care insurance. He is wanting to visit Canada for approximately 6 months, which is his allotted time here. He is 75 in May, He is on the usual old age blood pressure pills, asthma meds. Also meds for Alzheimer's disease. In Febuary he was hospitalized for his asthma, which had turned into bronchitis. I would think he would not need insurance coverage for the asthma as we are not that far from a US hospital. You consider that a preexisting condition?

Hi,

What happens after 70 years of age. And the quotes are in US dollars?
Noah

Dear Noah,

All quotes on our website are in US dollars. I'm not sure which plan you are looking at. At 70 years of age, most plans only offer $50,000 maximum coverage which is reduced further at 80 yrs of age. Also, for some plans, the "acute onset of pre-existing condition" coverage is no longer valid once a person is 70 years old.
One little trick is that if you purchase a plan while you are 69, you get to pay the 69 rate for the whole time (even if you hit your birthday); but the "acute onset" benefit does go away on your birthday.
However, next time you purchase it, the price and maximum options will reflect a new price and limitations.
If you have more specific questions I was not able to decipher, please email us back.

Dear Hamid,

Thanks for contacting American Visitor Insurance with your inquiry!
Here are the comprehensive and the fixed plans that provide the highest maximum coverage for people above 80 years of age.
To know the difference between fixed benefits and comprehensive plans, please refer to Fixed vs Comprehensive.
We usually recommend comprehensive plans over the fixed option, but for this age group the cost and low maximums do not seem to justify the very high price. All the policies below require a US address which can be a hotel where you are staying during your trip or a relative's home. Also note that with a fixed benefit plan, the higher the maximum of the plan, the higher the amount that will be paid for each medical expense, so it is worthwhile to consider the higher options since they are still a tremendous savings over the comprehensive plans.

• INF Elite Network:
  This plan provides a policy maximum of $75,000 for the age range of 70 to 99. This plan provides coverage for full pre existing conditions.The Elite plan has a fixed pre-existing condition maximum limit up to which the pre-existing condition would be covered. This is a comprehensive plan. Here are the details:

Hi,

My parents are visiting me in US from Iran. Their ages are 86 and 73. Can you recommend visitor insurance plans suitable for them. I think I have to buy 2 separate plans for them? Please advise

Thanks,
Kamrani

Dear Kamrani,

Here are the visitor medical insurance for older travelers above 80::
We usually recommend comprehensive benefits visitors insurance oover the fixed option, but for this age group the cost and low maximums do not seem to justify the very high price. All the policies below require a US address which can be a hotel where you are staying during your trip or a relative's home. Also note that with a fixed benefit plan, the higher the maximum of the plan, the higher the amount that will be paid for each medical expense, so it is worthwhile to consider the higher options since they are still a tremendous savings over the comprehensive plans.

Inbound USA Basic: For your visitor who is above 80, this is the plan that provides a $100,000 max coverage.

Inbound USA Choice: This is a fixed plan and covers full pre existing condition up to age 99. Please see below for more details:

Hello,

I am very interested in your webpages' several plans for my mother, 74 years old, this summer traveling from China to US for 6 month's visit . Could you answering my following questions: 1. This plan has a "deductible $250 per period", what's this meaning?
a) does this imply that I need to pay the first $250 each period ( monthly or 6 months??) for sickness, and then the coinsurance pays 90% of the left amount up to the first $5,000?
b) Who pays the 90% of the first $5,000? ( The plan or me?)
c) after the $5000, then plan pays 100% up to policy max $50,000. Does this include all the medical cost (Doctor visit, medical treatment, hospital, and drugs...)

Dear Amjad,

hanks for contacting us with your needs!
a) Deductible $250 per policy period: This means that for the entire policy period, you pay the amount of $250 only once regardless of the number of times you get sickness/injuries during the policy period. In your case, if you purchase insurance for 6 months, you pay this amount only the first time you incur an expense for the entire 6 months irrespective of how many times you incur expense.
b) For the coinsurance, when you incur an expense, for the first $5000 of the expense incurred, the 90% of the incurred expense is paid by the plan after deducting the deductible amount. The rest needs to be paid by you the customer.
c) Once, the incurred expense goes beyond $5000, the plan pays 100% up to $50,000. We highly recommend viewing the brochure of the policy that has the details.

Hi,

Rx. Drugs $250 per period.
a) Does this mean the plan cover $250 drug expenses for each period and the plan pay pack the customary expenses of $55 for each doctor visit?
b) how to claim back the customary expenses if the amount excesses the "deductible amount" ? since my mother does not have a bank account in US, so you will pay to my account?
c) How to claim back some customary medical expenses? by calling your 7/24 claim department (operator) or by mailing the bill or swiping your (health)card issued my mother?
d) Does "Patriot American" have such coverage?

Dear Li Rong,

T2. Some plans (say HCC MIS/ Visitor Care) cover reasonable cost, they pay $ 55 for each doctor visit and Rx. Drugs $250 per period.
a) Yes. This means that the plan will cover up to $250 for prescription drugs for the policy period. Yes, also that the $55 for doctor visit is for each doctor visit. Again we recommend to see the brochure of the policy for the number of doctor visits allowed per policy period.
b) You can fill the claim forms that is available on our website for specific Insurance companies and attach the invoices and statements and can receive the money. For precertification, which is usually needed in case of hospitalization, surgery etc. you can call the toll free number of the company given in the ID Card. These details are also available in the brochure of the policy.
c) The answer for this is same as b mentioned above.
d) Patriot America is a good plan from IMG and has all of the coverage. Regards,

Comparing to "Visitors Care" and "Inbound USA", where two plan pay 100% of covered amount after the deductible $250 and pay $55 each doctor visit.
a) What's the meaning?
b) are these two above plans "Fixed Benefits" or "Comprehensive", since the web page only shows "Fixed vs Comprehensive plans"
c) Are these two plan better than Patriot America? In Patriot America, there the plan does not pay $55 for doctor visit, and does not cover 100% of covered amount, even should be after the first $5,000
d) do you recommend me to buy "Visitor Care" or "Inbound America", or other plans.

Dear Li Rong,

a)Visitor's Care and Inbound USA do not have a co-insurance amount associated with them like Patriot America. This is because they are both scheduled or fixed benefit plans Therefore it says that the plan covers 100% after meeting the deductible amount. But this does not mean that they are better than Patriot America. We recommend Patriot America over these two policies.
Plan Details Brochure Buy Now

b) Visitor's Care and Inbound USA are fixed or scheduled benefit policies. Patriot America is an excellent comprehensive policy.
c) Patriot America is better than the other 2 fixed benefit policies. In fixed policy the coverage amount is defined and limited. For instance, if you incur an expense of $10,000 and the fixed policy limit has been set to $5000, the policy provides only the specified $5000. The fixed benefit policy does not flexibly adjust the coverage amount depending on the incurred expense. Fixed benefit policy works fine when you incur small expenses. Comprehensive policies on the other hand provide flexible coverage up to policy max limit and is always a good option for larger expenses even though they might not cover doctor's visits. And also, most comprehensive plans have some coverage for pre existing condition.

d) If you want a cheaper plan and need limited coverage you can choose a fixed policy, otherwise we always recommend comprehensive plans. Atlas America is also another excellent Comprehensive plan.

Hello,

I am comparing Atlas America, Atlas Premium America and Patriot Platinum America. Looking for $100,000 policy.
Question: Can you suggest is 100K policy too much or too less for 73 and 75 years of parents? What are the key difference between these three policies?
I am okay to pay max $250 deductible, if it is worth saving those few $$.
Parents' are intended to stay 6 months (175 days) but not 100% sure. What is the downside of buying 1 month policy and keep extending 1 month in a chunk? V/s buying 6 months and cancelling it, if required?
Regards,
Rajesh Chug

Dear Rajesh,

Thank you for your email. I sent you the details for three different plans for your comparison. They are all comprehensive plans with a policy max of $100,000 and $250 deductible. These are from three deterrent insurance companies. Both Atlas America and Diplomat Long Term do not cover pre-existing condition. While Patriot Platinum covers pre-existing condition up to $2,500.
One of the advantages for Atlas America is the co-insurance. As long as they go within the PPO network co-insurance will be waived. Diplomat and Platinum have a co insurance of 20% and 10% of the first $50,000 respectively.
These plans are renewable. Please refer to the brochures of the plans for renewal requirements. There may be a small renewal fee when you renew the plan each time. So, it is better to buy the plan for the required entire time period.
And as far as the policy maximum is concern, I would say $100,000 for 6 months is more that enough.
If you wish to search for plans at a $50,000 level, you may use this link:

Hello,

I am looking for maximum coverage for my mother (89 years old, perfect health record proven with medical reports), an Israeli citizen living in Israel and she will visit me from 5/4-7/12/16. It looks that the maximum coverage is $75,000 with INBOUND IMMIGRANT. My wish will be to get a higher coverage, can you suggests anything? Also about purchasing 2 different policies I was thinking that if I have a primary one and a secondary one which let's the max coverage for the first is $75,000 and the second is $50,000 then hypothetically if I have an incident for which the cost can add up to more than $75,000 I can kick the secondary one to complete the rest of the amount. Your thoughts will be appreciated.
Thanks,
Hedy Iancu

Dear Hedy Iancu ,

Thank you for contacting us for your US visitor travel health insurance needs for traveler of 89 years from Israel !
I've been reading up on this issue of two policies. Of course, you cannot do more than one policy with a company, but if you have policies from two different companies, they should dove-tail together. They will fight about who is "primary", etc. because they will both say that they are secondary (but she will have no other insurance, so...). Since the policies are fixed ones, it will not work as simply as you suggest in your email ($75,000 max and a $50,000 max). However, if one covers $3,350 for a surgery, and the other $2,000, then together, you WILL get $5,350 for that surgery. So, in that sense I think it will work as you suggest. Just be sure that are from different companies (we offer several policies which are slightly different from the same company (Inbound Immigrant and Inbound USA)).
Here is one plan that you can try that gives more coverage than $75,000 as maximum coverage.
Inbound USA Basic:
This plan covers up to age 99 and provides policy maximum of $100,000 and covers acute onset of pre-existing conditions up to the age of 99. Here are the details:
