Since people still can’t wrap their minds around the fact the Gaza death toll hasn’t changed
My parents are here with me for the next 2 months. My father has been coughing since the last few days. I was curious if Aetna can cover them? I have also taken travel insurance for them but I guess that is for emergency issues only. Has anyone come across this situation before? TC 300K
Not sure where you live but most of the doctors will give a cheap deal if you simply ask for "not insurance" charges for basic diagnosis appointment.
Sorry to say but parents won't be covered . You have to use travel insurance
Parents are usually not covered as dependents for health insurance, not even if they actually lived here. Go the no insurance route so tell the provider you’re paying out of pocket and rates will be slightly better. Once done, submit a claim with the travel one if the expense was higher than the deductible.
No they are not covered as your dependents. I would read the policy document of their travel medical insurance to know the coverage. If the coverage is not good enough then use technology to consult doc here or from your home country. They can tell you whether you need to perform some testing like blood work or x-ray. In that case you can find a private practitioner and tell them that you don't have insurance and negotiate the price. It should cost less than a couple of 100 dollars. If it is serious, then it is better to send them back home to get the treatment ASAP. I hope it is not serious and just some kind of a throat infection. Good luck!
OP are you really working at Adobe? Have you entered your parents details during health benefits sign up? Who said travel insurance cover for a quick urgent care expenses? Yes, flu symptoms are checked at urgent care and any travel insurance. Please be an adult and read the documents and policies or ask ChatGPT
They will only be covered if they were listed on your insurance when you signed up
There are some more affordable online doctor services now or you could take them to an urgent care. Still very expensive but less than a private practice typically.
