Health Insurance for trip to US during COVID

I think I’ve seen travel insurance that has health insurance for US citizens traveling to the US.

Yes, I’ve used it often. But you can’t use it in your country of residence.

Indeed. But I was able to get a quote for the Patriot Platinum America Plan as a US citizen, resident of Taiwan.

You tell the place giving you the vaccine you don’t have insurance and they bill the government for it.

Same goes for PCR and antigen tests. No insurance required. Easy to get appointments online.

Here’s a quote for 42 days (I assume the $ are in USD)

That’s the whole family?

If so, not so bad.

That’s just for me. Daughter’s premiums are much cheaper. It stinks that the premiums are based on age (rather than fitness or health).

You should ask your credit card company. Some give cheap insurance if you use their card to buy tickets.
