Question:

My dad is a heart patient in India. He has had two heart attacks in his life but is stable now for a while. He is visiting the us and I would like to get some guidance on what insurance plan I can purchase for his five week visit. Should I focus on a plan that covers acute onset of preexisting conditions or preexisting conditions or is there an option to get both?

Answer:

Visitors Protect is the only plan that offers coverage for pre-existing conditions, but it still cannot be known or expected treatment. It also has a 90 day minimum purchase and $1500 deductible built into the plan for anything relating to a pre-existing condition. Additionally, it must be purchased before the insured has left their home country. 

Like you said, other plans do offer the Acute onset of pre-existing conditions. If you would like to learn more about the acute onset of pre-existing conditions please click the hyperlink.

There is no option or reason to get both, as the "acute onset" would already be covered under general pre-existing condition coverage.

If you have any additional questions please let us know.
