Visitors Insurance for Parents Visiting USA from India

INF plans boast that they offer "full" coverage for pre-existing conditions. This can be a little misleading. Firstly, any regular treatment or medication that is required by the condition is never covered. The main advantage of INF Elite and INF Premier is that they cover sudden illness or injury regardless of whether it is pre-existing or not. The only difference is that a pre-existing condition will be covered with a higher deductible and a lower maximum than any other "new" illness or injury. However, coverage is not limited to an emergency or life-threatening situation.

The "Acute Onset of a Pre-Existing Condition" is a sudden and unexpected outbreak or recurrence of a pre-existing medical condition that occurs without any advance warning, either in the form of physician recommendations or symptoms, and requires immediate care (within 24 hours of first symptoms). A pre-existing condition that is chronic or congenital, or that gradually becomes worse over time, will not be considered acute onset.

The acute onset coverage benefit does not include coverage for known, scheduled, required, or expected medical care, drugs, or treatment that existed or was necessary prior to the effective date of coverage. An example of this might be someone who has a food allergy or bee allergy and is unknowingly exposed to their allergen and requires immediate medical attention.

Acute onset of a pre-existing condition can be defined as the sudden and unexpected occurrence of a pre-existing condition that requires inpatient emergency hospitalization within 24 hours of exhibiting first symptoms. The main difference between acute onset and full pre-existing coverage is that with full pre-existing coverage, one is covered for all eligible pre-existing conditions and associated medical costs. This may include follow-up visits, hospitalizations, and doctor's visits. Acute onset coverage, on the other hand, will only cover eligible inpatient hospitalization expenses, subject to the policy terms.

Full pre-existing coverage means eligible expenses related to a pre-existing condition may be covered under the policy. However, if one is traveling to the United States solely for medical treatment, that will not be covered. INF plans do not cover any medical tourism-related claims. Pre-existing conditions under the INF plans are covered with a higher deductible and a lower maximum than other illnesses or injuries. These are chosen or specified when you purchase your plan.
