Greetings!
Here at American Visitor Insurance we are always striving to get you the best pre-existing conditions coverage options possible for your travels or for your visitors! We recently added a new policy to our line up and we'd like to introduce you to it! We have teamed up with Trawick International to offer a new array of traveler and student plans.
One of their policies we find quite note-worthy since it offers the highest coverage for pre-existing conditions that we have found for persons over 70 years of age. Their policy called, Safe Travels USA Comprehensive, is for non-US citizens visiting the United States. It boasts maximums of $50,000, $100,000, $250,000, $500,000, and $1 million dollars.
For persons under 70, coverage for acute onset of pre-existing conditions will go up to the maximum of the plan. For persons 70 and over, they are limited to purchase only a $50,000 maximum plan, and the coverage for pre-existing conditions is reduced to $25,000. However, this is the highest we have available for non-US citizens.
We are proud and excited to offer this option since we know there are many clients concerned about pre-existing conditions while in the US and we can now offer a significant benefit for this age group (up to age 89). The US is known for it's expensive healthcare system for visitors. The cost of routine physician visit is very expensive in the US.
The common ailments like Diabetes Mellitus with Hyperglycemia admitted to an emergency room would cost around $25,000. Stroke resulting in ICU for about 10 days would cost $120,000, Heart attack treatment with medical bills for ambulance, hospital emergency room, ICU, EKG and MRI heart scans and continuing care from cardiologists would cost about $20,000, The average treatment cost of acute kidney failure in the USA was over $22,000 in 2018.
Therefore it is very important to make sure that our US Travel health insurance is taken care of to make us feel safe and secured in a new unknown place. Some visitor insurance plans from INF cover these pre-existing medical ailments. If you have questions or concerns, please contact our friendly agents who can step you through the process and help you find the right plan for you and your visitors!
We have US visa medical insurance plans from other reputed insurance companies offering pre-existing conditions visitors medical insurance coverage to older travelers as follows:
Safe Travels USA Comprehensive: This plan provides coverage for acute onset of pre existing conditions for people up to the age of 89. However the coverage reduces for people above age 65.
For people up to age 65 the plan covers up to policy maximum for acute onset of pre-existing condition and pays $25,000 for cardiac related conditions. For above 65, the coverage is reduced to $25,000 and $15,000 for cardiac related conditions.
As ever, we wish you safe and happy travels!
