Immediate Insurance Options for K1 (Upon/Shortly After Arrival)?

[noypi321 19]

Hi, I'm asking for my stepson who is coming in as a K1.

 

I'm wondering if there's any insurance option that a K1 can avail upon/shortly after arrival. He will be added to his future spouse's health insurance but they are getting married a month after his arrival. (His fiancée will be on a work trip in another state, thus the wait.) We would like for him to have insurance during that time period, while waiting, especially with the Corona virus issue going on.

 

Thanks!

Delay arrival for a month so they can get married immediately on arrival.

No can do. He's already on a plane. In hindsight, he should've delayed his arrival.

Call insurance companies directly. BCBS, Aetna, etc.

Take a day off and pop back and get married.

I guess the solution would be to get married as soon as possible (officially courthouse, at least) and apply for the insurance. If you want to do a bigger celebration or party, you can do it as planned afterwards. But for the sake of getting his health insurance, there's no harm in marrying earlier and applying for the insurance right away.

There are always private insurance available that you can get him on today if your have the funds. You can start looking at which offers the most coverage at a reasonable price offering to hold you over. Remember, with insurance you are basically paying for peace of mind.
