If you’ve recently arrived in the U.S. on a tourist visa, this question has probably crossed your mind:
“Can I really get a health plan while I’m here?”
It’s a very common question — and the answer is simpler than you might think:
Yes, you can.
And more than that: you really should consider it as soon as possible.
Let’s take a moment to talk about this — because it could save you from a major headache and give you more peace of mind while you’re here.
Does a tourist visa prevent you from getting a health plan?
No. That’s a myth.
There is a specific type of plan available for people in the U.S. on a tourist visa — and it’s accessible even if you:
-
Don’t have a Social Security Number
-
Don’t file U.S. taxes
-
Don’t have a permanent address
-
Aren’t a citizen
-
Just arrived recently
This plan is real, reliable, and legal.
You don’t need to belong to any special category.
You just need to be physically in the U.S.
What’s the difference between a health plan and travel insurance?
This is a common source of confusion.
Many people arrive thinking that their “travel insurance” is enough. But the coverage is extremely limited.
Travel insurance is not designed for those staying in the country for months — and definitely not for anyone who might need exams, doctor visits, or hospital care.
On the other hand, the health plan we’re talking about:
-
Covers real emergencies
-
Lasts much longer
-
May cover pre-existing conditions (depending on the case)
-
Is offered by American insurance companies
-
Includes HUMANIZED support every step of the way
What if I only need it for 2 or 3 months?
That’s totally fine. Most tourists only want coverage for the time they’ll be staying.
Short-term plans are available.
And the best part? No red tape.
You can do everything online, with support in English, Spanish and Portuguese — and in many cases, coverage starts just a few days after payment.
Why is this so important?
Because even if you’re just visiting, unexpected health issues can happen.
And in the U.S., a simple trip to the hospital can cost:
-
Hundreds of dollars for a consultation
-
Thousands for lab tests
-
Tens of thousands for a hospital stay
It’s an expensive system — and having no coverage could turn a minor issue into a financial nightmare.
