Start with consistent coverage assumptions
For a fair quote comparison, keep the applicant’s age, intended start date and coverage duration consistent. Compare policies with identical medical coverage limits and then examine their deductibles and medical eligibility.
Do not assume two plans labeled “$100,000 Super Visa insurance” offer the same treatment of claims related to stable pre-existing conditions.
When choosing the lowest premium can backfire
A lower premium may be the result of a larger deductible, different medical eligibility conditions, narrower benefits or more restrictive cancellation provisions.
For parents with health conditions, clarity about emergency coverage and medication changes may be far more important than a small premium difference.
