Every year my friends parents from India visit USA for summer holidays. She and her husband are both Indian citizens, who have elder children who have settled in America. The older parents likes to spend time with their grandchildren who live and work in the US. Her biggest concern was, when I spoke to her whether to purchase the
visitors insurance for parents during medical emergencies and routine medical check-up in USA. She was worried that they are ignoring the more affordable medical treatment available in India and heading to the US where the cost of health care treatment even for minor illness 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 it's affordability. She and her husband with children are living in the USA, and so it would be nice for parents and in-laws, 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
visitor insurance for parents for medical illness and even accidental injury. Buying such coverage, the older parents can stay peacefully and be least worried about financial risks due to medical emergencies. Visitors Medical 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 first time it is very important that you purchase the right kind of
visitor insurance plan and travel insurance protection for parents before coming to the US.
