    Re: Visitors to USA-medical insurance

    please make a note that NO insurance (atleast as far I know...cos I did a lotsa research..) covers pre existing conditions..

    If you are going to get it from India ..the claims might be difficult..

    Make a deep research before you buy one....and dont forget to post your experience.

    Thank a lot AC and Shravantika.

    I was trying to get it here only since I too heard that claims in India is very difficult.
    This is for my mother who otherwise has no pre-existing conditions.Given that,can you give me the names of the insurances.

    Hi sunitha,

    check out

    Visitor Health Insurance, Pre-existing condition coverage, AIG

    one of my cousin took the insurance with them for her in-laws and told that it is good.
    but they dont cover any pre-existing conditions.

    i think you can have this for your mom as she dont have any pre-existing conditions.
    and you can call them if you need any clarifications.

    Hope this helps

    Hi Sunitha,

    I bought the visitor's insurance from IMG. The coverage was under Patriot America. I bought the comprehensive coverage (of course no pre-existing conditions was covered) but I was happy with what I got.

    You can look into this one also.

    love,
    Aarushi

    tskHi
    It is better to take the insurance in the US as the claims if any can be settled easily there. In India to get claims settled whether overseas or within the country itself is a marathon task. You need a lot of patience and ingenuity to get anything done here. Generally the mediclaim insurance in India try how not to pay you.

    Re: Suggestions for Visitor Insurance?

    Hi Subha,
    My friend's parents visited her to help her during delivery. She told me that AIG is good (pre-existing conditions not covered). You could PM our ILites of this thread to get their personal experience. Take care!

    best,
