Can you provide health insurance for senior citizens

Question: 
I would like to know if you cater health insurance for senior citizen?

Answer: 

Pacific Prime
is a globally leading
health insurance brokerage and can
provide health insurance for senior citizens. Pacific Prime works with some of
the best international insurance providers
in the world of insurance and has over 60 insurance companies
which you can
select to purchase your coverage from; our partner portfolio is one of the largest in the world,
ensuring that you always have the full range of options. As there are generally no age limits
for international health insurance, Pacific Prime can
provide comprehensive international health insurance to seniors that will ensure that you
have the medical insurance protection you need, no matter where in the world
you may be located.

For senior citizens who are planning on retiring outside of
their home countries we would recommend an annual senior citizen international health insurance policy. An international policy has significant advantages
over a locally, or domestically purchased plan, one of which is that this type
of coverage is often renewable for life. This means that once you have
purchased an annual international senior citizen medical insurance plan, you
will normally be allowed to renew the coverage for as long as you wish to do
so, no matter what age you were when you initially enrolled on the policy.

It is important to understand that the premiums for the
global medical insurance policies we work with will generally not be calculated
based on your claims history. This means that you are able to claim for as much
healthcare as you need, secure in the knowledge that receiving vital medical
treatment will not impact the cost of your coverage. International Senior
medical insurance options through Pacific Prime will normally use Age as the
main variable in calculating a plan’s premium, which does mean that plans will
get more expensive as a person ages.

Acquiring a
plan earlier will affect your premium age bracket. As international health
policy premiums are determined by coverage, location, and age, there are age
brackets which determine your overall risk propensity. Generally, a senior
citizen is defined as someone who is 60 years of age or older. In some other
cases, it is 65 years of age or older. With some
of the plans which Pacific Prime offers, if you are in possession of a senior
health insurance plan prior to 69 years of age, you will normally be applicable
for a flat rate for the 69 age bracket. That means if you are 80, you will
still pay the premiums for someone who is the same age and has the same
coverage options as someone who is 69. However, if you acquire a plan after 69
years of age, you will follow regular age bracket premium increases at which
point could rise substantially.

If the cost of
acquiring a senior international health policy may be a problem for you, there
are ways which can offer you comfort in securing a policy without compromising
the coverage.

You can reduce
the cost of your medical insurance plan for seniors by excluding specific areas of coverage. For example, expatriates in America or in Hong Kong have to pay significant
amounts for health care because of the general high cost of their medical
systems. If you don’t need global coverage then Pacific
Prime can help to identify specific regions of the world in which you would
like to receive protection, ensuring that you are able to take that plan to anywhere in the world within the coverage area and receive health care. If
you are retired and are traveling for long periods of time, this would be a
great benefit for you. In addition, if you are interested in medical tourism,
this would be particularly applicable. Some countries or areas do not provide
adequate health care benefits and the neighbouring country may be able to
provide first class treatment. All it takes is a plane ticket there and you can
be covered.

Another way to
reduce the cost of insurance premiums is through the use of deductibles.
Deductibles
are also known as excess by some companies and are used to offset the price of your healthcare, and consequently your premium.
You can elect to include different levels of
deductibles in your policy, or none at all – it is
entirely your choice; however, having a deductible will normally mean that you
will pay a lower overall policy premium. As
an example on how deductibles work; you select a deductible that could be $400, $1600, or $2000, the deductible options will vary between insurers.:
If you elected to have a deductible of $400 per
year, you will need to pay $400 in coverage before the insurance plan
will pay for your claims. If you have an option to go see a general
practitioner, and the cost of the practitioner is $500, you will first need to
pay $400 and the insurer will pay $100. After that, you will no longer need to
pay anything for the rest of the year and the insurer will cover the costs.
Deductibles can also work on a per-condition basis: you will need to pay a
deductible for every condition, regardless of how much you have paid already;
they are generally lower but apply to all conditions. Finally, there is a
co-insurance option: if elected, the insurer sets a percentage you must pay for
every condition, such as 20% or 40%; the rest will be paid by the insurer. For more information about deductibles please click here.

It is
important to acquire international health insurance as early as possible. The
reason for this is because as you age, your health will generally deteriorate,
sometimes at an increasing rate. If you develop a condition with long term
effects prior to acquiring a senior global health policy, you may be unable to
acquire a policy, or the premiums may be much higher. Medical
conditions which have developed or which were known about prior to the purchase
of a senior medical insurance policy are known
as a pre-existing condition, and will be handled
differently by each insurance company. By acquiring, and remaining on
a policy early in your life, you will be able to avoid the uncertainty
which accompanies pre-existing conditions under an international medical
insurance plan.

The need for
specialized healthcare increases as you age. Some countries are not adequate
enough to provide you the medical attention you need. In the event of an
emergency where you require immediate attention, an option such as medical
evacuation under an international medical insurance policy will be extremely
useful. If your area is unable to service your injury, your policy will
normally cover the costs to evacuate you to the next closest location which
can. This could include helicopter costs or ambulance transport.

Another
benefit of international health insurance is that it is flexible. As a senior,
you may need some benefits and may not need some other. In addition, you may
require specialized coverage which some other insurers may not be able to
provide. World class health insurance is available through Pacific Prime
ensuring that you are covered for your specific situation; in many cases we may even
be able to tailor an existing policy to meet your unique healthcare
requirements.
