Question: Hi, My mom will be coming from north africa to visit me in the USA and stay for acouple of weeks. Recently she has been having a heavy hand and legs feeling. She has been prescribed a medication that is usualy prescribed for patients with mild parkinson's. I would like to get some second opinion and test(scans) performed on her in the USA. I don't think that she has parkinson's and I would like to confirn this in a center/hospital that I trust. My mom has an inssurance coverage with mutuelle Maroc,which is a partner with SwissLife and AXA. I wonder if she can get an international coverage with your company that will covers specialist evaluation, MRI, and oether scans if necessary. Thank you

Answer: We can provide international health insurance plans that will offer a number of benefits to a policyholder and afford you the protection that you need anywhere in the world. Plans that we offer will generally be guaranteed renewable for life and will only ever calculate their premiums based on the policyholder’s age and geographical area of coverage; never on an individual’s claims history. In regards to pre-existing conditions, these will normally be excluded from coverage by an insurance company, but in some situations we are able to give you options under which a condition may be covered.
