Question:

My father-in-law is a drinker and a smoker, who will be visiting the USA from China. He does not get annual physicals, and has not needed to ever see a doctor, therefore I cannot be sure how healthy he is. He has never had a stroke or heart attack, and is aged 63. I plan on having a doctor in China, examine him and I expect he will be certified as fit for travel. If he is certified as fit to travel, and he were to have a serious stroke or heart attack, can I be sure this would be covered up to the policy maximum of 250,000, or would the coverage potentially be limited to 25,000 if a doctor in the USA renders an opinion that my father-in-law suffered the stroke or heart attack due to a pre-existing condition?

Answer:

Coverage is always going to be determined based of the doctors notes and medical records from the event. We are unable to advise on how the plan will pay based off a future scenario, as we do not have access to the medical record.
