Q: I was checking out the liberal benefits for pre-existing medical conditions of the “Inbound Immigrant” health plan but I do not know if I qualify. The six month exclusion on pre-existing medical conditions is more generous than any other health plan that I see. I moved to Florida a few years ago but I travel back home for business and to visit family. My first trip in the U.S. was more than two years ago. I was planning go go back and forth often but I’ve been here for a year now. Also, this plan would not cover me while travelling, right?
A: The plan is available if you first came to live in the U.S. less than two years ago (other than as a visitor). In your case it may be difficult to remember which trip was a visit and when you actually decided to make the U.S. your residence. Use your best judgement to determine eligibility. No one besides you can make that determination.
