Patriot Plus (A.M. Best Rating: A-) is a comprehensive travel medical insurance plan for international visitors seeking enhanced medical coverage while visiting the United States. Access to the UnitedHealthcare PPO network, comprehensive medical benefits, and acute onset coverage for eligible pre-existing conditions make it a popular choice for family visits, vacations, and business travel. Coverage is available from 5 days to 365 days.

While in the U.S., after the deductible is satisfied within the United Healthcare PPO network, the plan will pay 100% of eligible medical expenses up to the selected policy maximum. Outside of the PPO network, the plan will pay 90% of the first $5,000 of eligible medical expenses, then 100% thereafter, up to the selected policy maximum.

Patriot Plus does not cover pre-existing conditions. Patriot Plus includes acute onset coverage of pre-existing conditions up to the policy maximum for travelers under age 70.

    The Patriot Plus plan is available for any non-US Resident, visiting the USA for a short period of time. It is available for US citizens, and Non US citizens who live outside USA permanently, and are traveling to the USA for a short time.

    Pre-existing conditions are not covered by Patriot Plus plan. However the Patriot Plus plan covers for an acute onset of pre-existing conditions for people under age 70. It is up to the attending physician to determine if a particular medical situation is related to pre-existing condition or not, and also if it would be considered as an acute onset or not. Please check the Description of Coverage for more information about what is considered as acute onset of pre-existing condition.

    An acute onset is a sudden unexpected outbreak or recurrence of a Pre-existing Condition which occurs spontaneously and without advance warning either in the form of Physician recommendations or symptoms, is of short duration. It has to be an acute medical condition that requires immediate medical attention. More conditions and restrictions apply. Please check the Patriot Plus Description of Coverage to understand what is covered under acute onset of pre-existing condition.

    You can visit any doctor or hospital of your choice. However, we recommend choosing a provider within the PPO network for Patriot Plus, which is the UnitedHealthcare PPO Network.
