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 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 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.



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.



Do you offer private medical insurance in the Bahamas?

Yes, Pacific Prime offers international medical insurance in the Bahamas from over 30 insurers including Allianz, BUPA, William Russell, and AXA. Coverage includes the Bahamas and US with emergency evacuation, and for older applicants, inpatient/hospitalization plans are recommended for major medical treatment.


What international health insurance plans can you offer for students?

Pacific Prime offers student health insurance plans from HTH, IMG, and Interglobal that provide comprehensive international coverage at affordable rates. These plans include inpatient, outpatient, and emergency evacuation coverage as standard benefits, with additional options varying by provider to meet specific student needs and budgets.


Can I get a quote via email?

Yes, you can get health insurance quotes via email. Pacific Prime offers completely free and impartial service through email correspondence, working with respected international insurers like BUPA, Cigna, Allianz, and Aetna to provide personalized family coverage solutions based on your specific medical requirements.


Do you offer travel insurance to cover disease and injury?

Yes, Pacific Prime offers travel insurance that covers disease and injury with coverage exceeding 30,000 Euros. 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.




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. These plans are ideal for shorter-term international travel and work assignments, offering comprehensive emergency evacuation and medical coverage across various countries.
