International health insurance coverage

What is international insurance?

International health insurance is insurance you can use while away from your home or citizenship country. Many domestic policies require the policy holder to be at home (at least most of the time) and/or may only work within the borders of the home country. International insurance insures you wherever you travel for routine check-ups to emergency surgery. They can offer major medical coverage to individuals who are often traveling or have found an adopted country of residence. Here at American Visitor Insurance, we offer coverage from US based companies that would allow you to come to the US to receive medical treatment if necessary. These plans similarly work well for US citizens who are living or working outside the US and spend a lot of time overseas. For example, an American living abroad may want to come home to deliver her baby. With enough early planning, these plans can help with that. Or a non-US citizen looking for long-term coverage in the US may find these plans suitable for them and their families for their time in the US while still covering them when they return to visit family back home. To get global health insurance, you must submit an extensive application with all medical history. The underwriting will look over the application and either (1) accept you and your family, (2) reject you, or (3) accept you with additional exclusion riders. If you are accepted or accepted with exclusion, you always have 10 days to reject the coverage and you will have to sign the exclusion riders if you want to still adopt the plan. They may request additional medical information from your doctors, so this process may take a couple weeks. However, once you are established on the plan, you are guaranteed year to year coverage until age 75 (if you start before age 65). The price can only increase year by year due to your age, not due to any medical condition you may develop. For complete, regular coverage year by year, international health insurance may be right for you!
