Why South Americans Need Visitor Insurance in the USA
No reciprocal healthcare agreement
The USA has no bilateral healthcare agreement with any South American country. Your home health plan — whether SUS, EPS, Obras Sociales, or any other — is strictly domestic. The moment you land in the USA, you are medically uninsured.
US healthcare costs are catastrophic
An average ER visit in the United States costs $3,100. One night in a hospital costs $11,700. A medical evacuation flight back to South America can exceed $50,000. These costs are billed directly to you — no local insurance pays a cent.
Coverage starts the same day
You can buy visitor insurance in under 2 minutes online. Your insurance card and policy documents arrive by email instantly. Plans from IMG, Trawick International, and WorldTrips start at $30/month for comprehensive emergency coverage.
Strengthens your B-2 visa application
Including proof of visitor insurance in your US visa application demonstrates financial preparedness. Consular officers view it as evidence you have planned for potential medical costs — a positive signal for visa approval.
