International health insurance FAQ
Are there any insurance companies who offer cover to pregnant women?
Yes, some insurance companies offer limited coverage for pregnant women. While routine pregnancy costs are typically excluded, certain travel plans like IHI-BUPA can cover complications of pregnancy up to the 36th week, and most maternity plans include waiting periods before coverage begins.
Do you offer travel medical insurance that is compatible with the Visa application process in European countries?
Pacific Prime offers two short-term travel medical insurance policies that are fully compatible with European visa requirements, including for Ireland. These comprehensive plans include inpatient, outpatient, and emergency evacuation coverage, and come with an official visa letter for your application. Coverage can be purchased for specific dates ranging from 5 days to 365 days.
Do you offer affordable coverage in South East Asia for retirees, and individuals born before 1950?
Yes, Pacific Prime offers affordable international health insurance coverage for retirees and individuals born before 1950 in South East Asia. Plans include comprehensive benefits such as hospitalization, outpatient care, emergency evacuation, dental, optical, annual health checks, and vaccinations at all medical facilities throughout the region.
Do you offer plans that cover individuals in their country of nationality?
Yes, Pacific Prime offers health insurance coverage for local nationals – individuals living in their country of nationality (such as a Moroccan living in Morocco). These plans provide comprehensive benefits including hospitalization, outpatient care, emergency evacuation, dental, and maternity coverage.
Do you offer coverage for new born children on their own health insurance plan in the USA?
Yes, Pacific Prime offers international health insurance coverage for newborn children on their own separate plans in the USA. These plans include benefits like hospitalization, outpatient care, emergency evacuation, and health checks, though coverage in the USA carries higher premiums due to expensive medical costs there.
Do you offer health insurance plans for children only, not including the parents?
Yes, many insurers offer standalone health insurance plans specifically for children without requiring parents to be covered. These child-only plans are designed for parents who already have employer coverage but need separate or more comprehensive protection for their children, and include benefits like hospitalization, doctor visits, medications, vaccinations, and emergency evacuation at separate rates from family plans.
Do you have any plans that meet Visa requirements?
Pacific Prime’s international insurance plans offer comprehensive medical coverage that typically meets visa requirements for most countries. However, since government regulations change frequently, you should verify specific medical insurance requirements with the relevant immigration department for your particular visa situation.
Do you offer insurance plans for personnel from countries based in the Pacific Islands traveling to Australia?
Pacific Prime offers comprehensive international medical plans that can cover personnel from Pacific Island countries (Papua New Guinea, Marshall Islands, Vanuatu, Tuvalu, Cook Islands, and Federated States of Micronesia) traveling to Australia for work. Both short-term travel insurance and annually renewable policies are available for individuals or corporate groups.
Is it possible to get an insurance that covers only Medical Evacuation?
Medical evacuation coverage is typically not available as a standalone policy. Insurance providers offer medical evacuation as an add-on benefit to comprehensive medical insurance plans, ensuring you’re covered for both emergency transport to higher-standard facilities and subsequent treatment costs.
Can you offer my wife and I health insurance in Barbados?

What international health insurance plans can you offer for students?

We provide two plan options from IHI Travel and IMG Patriot that cover inpatient care, outpatient treatment, emergency evacuation, and other benefits for trips lasting 5 days to one year, with extension options available.
How can one apply for maternity insurance, if the lady is already pregnant?
Maternity insurance typically requires a waiting period of at least 10 months before coverage begins, making it difficult to obtain if already pregnant. However, plans often include newborn child coverage that provides lifetime protection for the baby regardless of their health at birth.
Is it possible to pay the premiums in local currency in Malawi due to scarcity of forex?
Most international insurance companies operate in major currencies (USD, Euro, GBP), but clients in Malawi can pay premiums using credit cards or annual bank transfers where local banks automatically convert from local currency to the required policy currency.
Can you offer differing levels of insurance for each member of my family?
Yes, Pacific Prime offers flexible family health insurance plans that allow different coverage levels for each family member. While all members receive basic benefits like inpatient and outpatient care, you can add extra benefits such as dental, maternity, or emergency evacuation coverage to meet specific needs of individual family members.
How does a deductible plan work?
Deductible plans lower your premium costs – the higher the deductible, the cheaper your insurance. You pay medical expenses up to your chosen deductible amount (ranging from $425 to $8,500), then the insurance company covers the remaining costs. These plans work best for healthy individuals seeking protection against unexpected major medical expenses.
Do you offer family health insurance in Africa?
Pacific Prime offers family health insurance that covers family members in different African countries like Tanzania and Cameroon. The plans are globally portable and guaranteed renewable for life, allowing families to receive care worldwide and relocate while maintaining coverage.
Do you offer international travel insurance in multiple countries?
Pacific Prime offers travel health insurance plans lasting from a few weeks up to 12 months that provide coverage in multiple countries including the US, Iraq, and other destinations.
