Health insurance for fiancee

[eclowjpd 0]

I have been looking for temporary health insurance for my fiancee, until I can get her on my insurance plan. I've check ehealthinsurance.com and a couple other sites, and I am finding that they require either a social security number, or the person has to have lived in the U.S. for at least 12 months. Has anyone been able to find temp health insurance prior to getting the social security number? I know that it won't take that long to get her SS#, but being without any insurance at all is very risky.

Hi Bill,

What I will be doing is making my insurance through the travel agency company while I buy the ticket to the US, since I'll buy a round ticket to the US as it is less expensive than just one way, so I will make an insurance for about a couple of months, this period of time (2 months) will match with the return ticket date I will have, although actually I wont use the return ticket .

That means that the insurance company back home will cover me for the entire time (2 months), and after the 2 month period I'll be covered by my future husband's insurance company. This method works here in Italy, I dont know if you can do the same from the country of your fiancee. Actually I have found here in Italy two of the most well known insurance companies for travellers that can do it. The maximum time I can do that is for 3 months after that they wont be able to cover me. I hope you can find something like that in your fiancee country.

Good luck, daphne
