Senior Visitor Insurance FAQ — San Diego
Does my home country health insurance cover me in San Diego?
No. Your home country health insurance or national health coverage does not extend to medical care in the United States, including San Diego, California. The US has no universal healthcare system and no reciprocal health agreements with foreign countries. International seniors visiting San Diego are fully responsible for 100% of any medical costs — which can reach $4,000 for a single ER visit.
What hospitals are near San Diego for seniors?
San Diego is served by UC San Diego Medical Center, Sharp Memorial Hospital, Scripps Health. These are among the area's leading medical facilities. However, as an international senior visitor, you will be billed at full uninsured private rates — meaning a hospital stay can easily cost $3,000–$10,000 per day. Visitor insurance ensures you're not faced with these bills alone.
How much does senior visitor insurance for San Diego cost?
Senior visitor insurance for international travelers visiting San Diego typically costs $9–$16 per day for ages 65–69, and $15–$26 per day for ages 75–79, with $250,000 in medical coverage. Monthly costs range from $270–$780 depending on age and coverage level. Exact pricing depends on your age, deductible, and the plan selected.
Can seniors with pre-existing conditions get visitor insurance for San Diego?
Yes. Senior visitor insurance plans include an acute onset of pre-existing conditions benefit — covering sudden, unexpected flare-ups like heart attacks, strokes, or respiratory crises. This is especially important for seniors visiting San Diego, given the high cost of emergency care at California hospitals. IMG GlobeHopper Senior and Trawick Safe Travels USA both include this benefit.
