Travel Insurance
Hi,
So all parts of the visa process are complete for us except the visa interview which is in 3 weeks!
Please can anyone give me some advice on the type of insurance to get to be able to get repeat prescriptions in the USA until my spouses work health insurance kicks in? I am UK citizen, 2 kids have dual nationality and Spouse is US Citizen - we have been living in Uk for 10 years, but need to be able to continue to get prescriptions in the changeover and don't want to spend more than we have to.
Thanks in advance.

You may find your UK GP will give you a script for 3 to 6 months of meds. Get the meds before you leave the UK.

Re: Travel Insurance
Thank you Jerseygirl. I presume I will need some kind of insurance in case of dr visits too for the kids etc. Anything you could recommend? Travel insurance doesn't seem to cover dr visits I've noticed and as we have no return date its hard to get any quotes.

Where are you moving to? California has 'Covered California' which helps you sort out insurance, I used it till my work insurance kicked in

Re: Travel Insurance
Would it be advisable to get a doctors note? Just curious on the risk of bringing a largish amount of prescription drugs into the US.

Re: Travel Insurance
Has anybody tried Inbound Immigrant Insurance®?
Could you recommend?
Is $75,000 a decent amount of coverage per injury/sickness?
I move to NY on the 6th of June and will need medical insurance for my spouse and I.
Thanks.

Re: Travel Insurance
EEK - sorry, finding this whole thing very confusing.
Are there any temporary medical insurance packages for new non-immigrants that cover for larger than this amount?
