Visitors Insurance for Family question and answers

01.  Insurance for parent and child traveling to the US

Hi,

Me, my wife and our 1,5-year-old child are now in California. We travelled here from Norway on my travel insurance on Sept 11 2018. We were expecting to travel back within 90 days which is the maximum length of the stay covered by our travel insurance.We now have to stay for 1 extra month because of sickness in the family living in California.

I have been back to Norway 2 times since we came here in Sept, so I am still covered by my travel insurance, but my wife and child is not. What insurance would you recommend for them, or is it any insurance that will work since they have not been back at our registered address in Norway since we left for California? We need an insurance that covers emergency transportation back to Norway if necessary and should be valid from Des 10 2018 till Jan 30 2019.

Best Regards,
Thomas

02. Insurance plan for a family travelling to USA

Hi,

Please can you suggest an insurance plan for my family that includes me (34 years), my wife(30 years) and my son (4 years). I will be travelling to USA next month.

Thanks
Liam

Dear Liam,

Thanks for contacting us for Visitors Insurance for Family travelling overseas.

Thank you for your email. Your son will be your dependent. So on the application, you will have to add him as a traveler. I would say the Atlas America is the best option because a child under 10 is free with a paying adult so this price is hard to beat!

Hope this helps. And if you have any further questions, please feel free to contact us.

04. Insurance plan for both US and Non US citizen

Hi,

I am trying to buy American visitor insurance for my family. The form does not allow for me to change the citizenship for my wife. My child and I are US citizens, but my wife is non-US citizen. Does this matter or are you looking for the citizenship of the primary applicant?

Thanks,
Satish

Dear Satish,

Thanks for contacting us for Visitors Insurance for Family travelling overseas.

I am assuming that all of your family members are visiting US and you do not currently reside in US. Is that right? If not, please let us know. For your situation, your wife, yourself and your child are eligible to buy any of the below mentioned policies.

But you and your child need to be on one single plan with you as the primary and your child as the dependent. Your wife needs to have a separate plan.

Given below are details of plans that will cover US citizens who reside outside of the US while they visit the US and also cover Non US citizens visiting US.

Patriot America and Patriot America Plus plans from the company IMG:

Patriot America Lite

This plan is a comprehensive plan from IMG and provides medical coverage for unexpected sickness and injury for US citizens while they are in the US. You can get all information about Patriot America Lite plan by reading the plan brochure. You can buy the Patriot America Lite policy online.

The two policies are offered by the same company, but have different underwriters and vary in the maximum they will allow.

If you need coverage for acute onset of pre-existing conditions, then you can consider the below mentioned plan from the same company:

Patriot America Plus:

This plan covers US citizens while they are in the US in a similar way as Patriot America except this plan has coverage for acute onset of pre-existing conditions up to the age 70.

You can get all information about Patriot America Plus insurance plan by reading the Patriot America Plus plan brochure.
