04. Information regarding Patriot America Plus Insurance plan

questionHello,

I want information regarding Patriot America Plus Insurance plan. Specifically, whether the plan covers pre-existing condition..
Thanks,
Shreekant

questionDear Shreekant,

Thank you for contacting us at American Visitor Insurance for your travel health insurance needs!. Technically, no plan we offer will cover pre-existing medical conditions. That means, if a person requires regular medication or treatment, the plan will not pay for it (nor for a doctor visit to continue such treatment). So, if a person is on dialysis, the plan will not pay for this continued, although necessary treatment. Nor will the plan pay for heart medication for a heart patient.

What it does cover is called "acute onset" of a pre-existing condition for persons under 70 years of age. What this means is, should the person have an emergency due to their pre-existing condition, then they WILL be covered up to the maximum of the plan for that hospitalization and treatment. Note that it cannot be due to lack of required medical treatment, but must be something unexpected. "Acute" refers to the fact that the condition must be taken care of right away and is life-threatening (or to cause major functional harm like loss of limb or blindness).

You can find this outlined in the brochure. Many people find this confusing, because the plan documents will say they DO NOT cover pre-existing conditions as well as say that they do. That is because the coverage is limited in the above way I have described.

I hope this has helped you. It's a great plan and I often recommend it to clients.

Please let us know if we can help you in any further.

  • List of the medical centers, clinics, doctors, hospitals, emergency centers etc in network of Patriot America Plus.
  • Will F2 visa holder be eligible?
  • Will it cover pre-existing condition if it gets worse?

Find your answers below:
  • You can search the company’s PPO network using the links below; you will have to put in your zip code and then choose what type of provider/hospital you are interested in.
  • A dependent of a F1 visa holder is perfectly eligible for any of the visitor medical insurance for F2 visa holders we offer on our website. The only issue is that some institutions have requirements that must be met. In that case, we would have to make sure that those requirements are met.
  • A covered illness will be covered by the same policy as long as you maintain continuous coverage (renew and do not let the policy expire).
  • Injury to a tooth is covered to maximum of the plan; however, a sudden pain will only be covered in the amount of $100 (anything else will not be covered). Does not cover regular check-ups or teeth cleaning.
