RENEW YOUR CAREER PLAN OUTSIDE THE USA

All international career health plans are considered "surplus lines insurance," and they do not fall under the supervision of the Department of Insurance (DOI) in the various states. The DOI does not interfere with international health insurance plans, but it insists that those plans are not used for domestic insurance coverage. The DOI does give allowances for furloughs and visits to the USA.

The understanding with most companies is that if you purchase or renew an international health insurance plan, you must leave the USA within 30 days. If you do not leave, your insurance will be cancelled. If you are spending your furlough near the Canadian or Mexican border, you can spend a night or two outside the USA and fulfill that requirement. Yet it is always best to plan your furloughs in such a way that your career insurance is renewed before you arrive in the USA. Put the renewal date on your calendar, and always keep that date in mind when you are planning a furlough. We realize that this is a headache, but it is what we must do!

Health Insurance in the USA

"Jeff, I just wanted to say a quick "Thank You" for the newsletter, or "Quarterly E-Bulletin." I don’t know if this is all your work or a team, or you buy content, or just who puts it together; but I’ve gotta say it’s one of the few pieces of its kind that I actually *read* top-to-bottom. [The "Quarterly Bulletin" is written by Jeff, assisted by the GNI staff.]"

"Trish, Thanks so much for your follow-up on this. We actually got a check in the mail already, covering all the charges minus the $250 deductible. I was surprised and pleased that we got it so quickly! Thank you again for taking care of us. You have been extremely helpful, Trish."

"Doug, I wish to thank Pei for the first class service I received. I value great customer service having worked for a Japanese airline for 17 years. I believe the service reflects the management."
