The new plan is available to non-US citizens for up to 365 days and offers no-fee cancellation for policyholders unable to embark on their travels or who need to interrupt their US visit prior to their policy’s end date. Medical treatment services are provided for up to 365 days by UnitedHealthcare’s extensive preferred provider network (PPO) in all 50 US states and offers a standard benefit for acute onset of pre-existing conditions.

“Travellers visiting the US are well aware that there is no universal healthcare system available and that US medical treatment costs are some of the highest in the world,” says Rajeev Shrivastava, CEO and founder of VisitorsCoverage. “With uncertainties surrounding the coronavirus, in partnering with IMG for our new CoverAmerica-Gold plan, we will be able to offer high-quality healthcare through unprecedented access to the top PPO network, providing reassurance, reliability and peace of mind to US visitors for up to a year.”
