Every year, my friend and former colleague parents visit USA for durations less than a year. She and her husband are both USA citizens, who were originally from India. The elder parents like to spend time with their children and grandchildren who live and work or study in America. Her biggest dilemma when I did speak to her was the visitors insurance for parents with coverage for medical emergencies and routine health treatment in USA. She was worried that they are leaving the more affordable medical treatment available in India and heading to America where the cost of medical care even for minor ailments is high.
She being anxious, and at the same time, concerned about the quality and best level of travel health insurance coverage available for parents visiting USA, got me thinking and do more research on the plans available and what is the affordability. She and her husband and children are living in the USA, and so it would be nice for parents and in-laws i.e. her husband parents, to travel back and forth between the two countries and wished to retain access to US health care when they visit USA.
While visiting America, relatives and parents, or anyone on their behalf, can purchase visitors insurance for parents coverage for sickness or illness and even accidental injury. Buy such coverage, the elder parents can stay peacefully and be least worried about financial mishaps due to medical emergencies.
Visitors Health Insurance plans are designed by private insurance providers in the USA and can be purchased by non US citizens to stay covered while in America.
If your parents are planning to come to the USA, for the firs time it is very important that you purchase the right amount of
visitor insurance coverage and travel medical protection for relatives while in America or even outside home country.
