Ask the ExpertsWhich is the best plan for green card parents visiting the US?

If your parents are Green Card holders visiting the U.S. for a short period and planning to return to their home country, you may want to consider a short-term Green Card insurance plan. You can find options for Green Card insurance plans here.

If your parents plan to live in the U.S. permanently, consider these steps for health insurance options:

Check Federal Health Options: As Green Card holders, your parents may be required to have qualified health insurance under the Affordable Care Act (ACA). They may be eligible for ACA coverage, depending on their situation. For more information on eligibility, visit the Health Insurance Marketplace.

Check State Health Programs: Depending on the state, Green Card holders may qualify for state health insurance programs based on income or other criteria. Contact your stateÃÂ¢ÃÂÃÂs Medicaid or Medi-Cal office to learn about potential options.

Consider Short-Term Private Insurance: If your parents arenÃÂ¢ÃÂÃÂt eligible for federal or state programs, they may still qualify for short-term health insurance in the U.S., which provides temporary coverage as specified in the policy terms. Note that these plans donÃÂ¢ÃÂÃÂt meet ACA requirements but can be an option for visiting Green Card holders. To explore options, visit our Insurance for Immigrants page.
