Why Do I Need

travel health Insurance for visitors to the usa?

There are many reasons to consider purchasing health insurance for travel to the USA:

  • International travel can represent financial risk. No matter your planned destinations or activities, there’s always a chance you could experience an unanticipated travel complication, accident, or sickness that calls for travel medical insurance. Atlas America can cover eligible hospitalizations, surgery, travel delays, and other expenses required to get your trip back on track.

  • Healthcare in the U.S. can be very expensive. According to Healthcare.gov, fixing a broken leg can cost up to $7,500 in the U.S. The average cost of a 3-day hospital stay is around $30,000. Atlas America can provide access to quality doctors and hospitals as well as coverage for medical expenses.

  • Your regular health insurance may provide limited or no coverage once you leave your home country. That’s why the U.S. Department of State recommends that you ask your insurance company if your policy applies overseas and if it provides adequate coverage for emergency expenses. If it doesn’t, Atlas America can provide the international coverage you need.

  • Your visa may require travel medical insurance or proof that you’ll be able to pay for unexpected expenses incurred in the U.S. Atlas America meets the requirements of the J-1 visa for work and study-based exchange programs in the U.S. It also provides policyholders with a visa letter that can serve as proof of coverage or help prove your ability to pay for unexpected medical expenses.
