Visitors Health is a common term used for visitors health insurance. Visitors Insurance is a form of short-term travel medical insurance policy that visitors to USA and other nations purchase to obtain coverage protection for accidental injury or sickness or illness that can happen to them or family members while as a visitor in the visiting host country.
Visitors Medical Insurance offers health coverage for relatives or parents visiting USA, or for travel protection to any country for any reason, business or personal. This type of private health coverage for visitors is purchased as a short term health plan that provides medical coverage beyond national borders, and only for the duration of travel or stay outside home country. These plans also provide medical evacuation and repatriation benefits as part of the covered features.
Visitors health insurance is not currently mandatory for all foreign nationals who are temporary visitors to USA, but travelers from certain nations visiting the European Schengen states, UAE, etc. are currently required to provide proof of coverage to qualify for a visitor visa.
