Needing advice from those who had travel medical insurance that qualifies for K1 or immigration and moving out of country. Regular plans do not seem to cover us in this situation. (Before i could just go do blue cross when i would visit but dont think they will cover us for a move and several weeks living) Since im going to travel and do POE soon, I will need emergency and medical insurance, up until the wedding (after that he can add me to his plan, but not before)

Since blue cross is not a intended insurance for anything more than travel,...we technically dont qualify. As we will be moving to live in the USA. Can anyone weigh in on a type of insurance that will cover those of us in this situation.

Is there a company that is catering to our needs till we can qualify for US coverage. I want to be covered as usual from the day I fly out.

They are affordable, but they only cover $130,000 max. Usually with bluecross you can ge one or two million. I dont think 130k woukd go to far in an emergency in the USA. I will have to call around. Its something you hope you wont need but if you do you want fullest coverage possible.

I guess they do offer another type of plan that does offer higher coverage, I was just looking at the inbound coverage, but the meridian looks like it can work for us.

We used the site below to purchase my husband's coverage until he rolls onto my insurance on Jan 1. And before anyone comments, yes we know that immigration is a life changing event, but he entered in July to activate his green card, then had to return to the UK for a couple months to finish out work, so I didn't really want to add him to my insurance and pay premiums for something that he wouldn't be using. :)
