American Emergency Health Insurance Policy

[Alderbrook]

Has anyone looked into buying or has bought an American policy for visitors to the USA thru an American company for emergency medical? All the Canadian policies I’ve seen has that clause that won’t let you travel to an area with a travel advisory issued by the Canadian government but the American policies dont have it. We have cancelled our August trip to Disney so don’t need insurance at the moment but we have time share in SC and the Canadian government put a travel advisory on the whole state of SC for hurricane irma even tho our area was unaffected and it rendered our insurance void so we have ran into this before.

https://www.atlasamericainsurance.net/atlas-america-insurance/buy/ is one company but there are others that offer policies. I know with COVID-19 things are all over the place but wondering if anyone has gone this way before? I know companies here offer insurance for visitors to Canada. Even tho the border may open the government may still keep that travel advisory on for a long time.

If you look at the policy, the eligibility specifically excludes "The Atlas Series is not available to individuals who are physically located in the states of New York, Maryland, or Washington; or in the countries of Canada or Australia at time of purchase"

I don’t see that Listed here https://www.atlasamericainsurance.net/atlas-travel-insurance/#eligible There were other companies offering policies. That was just one that popped up.

A friend of mine has used this company before (they have a condo in Maui and have extended their stays before, thus running out of insurance from home so they bought through this company): https://www.insubuy.com/
