Whether you are a permanent resident of the US or the one who is shuttling between the home country and the US, you will find the right plan based on your input in our quote form

Medical insurance for Green Card parents

The former Trump administration had proposed a rule which expected prospective new US Green card senior citizen parents to provide proof of having good US immigrant health insurance coverage for elderly immigrant parents in the US. This proclamation however has come under legal scrutiny with different cases filed against this Trump administration initiative.

This proposed rule will mostly impact green card parents of current US citizens who are and are applying for US Green cards. According to this new rule visas to enter the US can be denied if one is not able to provide proof of proper US immigrant health insurance for green card holders senior citizen parents.

While details of the new immigrant health insurance for green card parents requirements are still to be announced, the best US Green card holder insurance plans that we offer work well as short term health insurance which prospective Green card senior citizen parents can use till they are eligible for domestic US insurance plans.

Health Insurance for Senior Citizen Parents who are Green Card Holders

  • The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA) also known as Obama Care or Affordable Care Act (ACA), made it mandatory for all US residents to have health insurance. This individual mandate has however since been repealed and it is now not mandatory anymore to have PPACA compliant insurance.
  • The ideal medical insurance for parents on green card will depend on the insured's age, the length of stay in the US, and your budget for the health insurance for elderly parents on green card.
