Editor Review
The Good: This is low cost medical insurance for non U.S. citizens visiting the U.S. One of the original travel medical insurance plans designed specifically for U.S. visitors, you choose the medical, evacuation, and accidental death limits as well as your deductible. Options available for hazardous activities. This plan covers trips of 15 days up to a full year. Ideal for international visitors to the U.S. and new U.S. immigrants who have not yet purchased other health care coverage.
The Drawbacks: One version of the plan is only available to those up to age 69. Repatriation coverage may not be enough depending on the location of the traveler’s home country.
The Bottom Line: Strong financial protection offered at two plan levels, this is ideal coverage for visitors to the U.S., where health care costs are extremely high. Optional coverage for hazardous activities rounds out the coverage for active travelers.
