Question:

I have pre existing diabetes and hypertension for which I am being treated for last so many years and the same is under control with medication. Will this be covered

Answer:

All plans for visitors are primarily designed to cover for new injuries or illnesses that did not exist in the body before the effective date. No plan on the market will cover preventative care or routine treatment of any kind.

Visitors Protect is the only plan that offers coverage for pre-existing conditions, but it still cannot be known, expected, or routine treatment. 

It has a 90 day minimum purchase and $1500 deductible built into the plan for anything relating to a pre-existing condition. It must be purchased before the insured has left their home country, and the sub-limited maximum amount of coverage that is available for pre-existing conditions is $25,000 ($50k, $100k, or $250k policy max available for expenses related to new injuries or illnesses). 

Other plans, like Atlas America or Patriot America Plus, do offer the Acute onset of pre-existing conditions.

You can run a quote in the Visitors to U.S.A. section of the website to see what plans are available.
