Frequently Asked Questions — Honduran Visitors in Texas
Do Honduran visitors to Texas need health insurance?
Honduran citizens are not covered by US Medicare or Medicaid. A single ER visit in Texas can cost $3,000–$12,000. Visitors insurance is strongly recommended — and some visa types (J-1, J-2) legally require it.
How much does visitors insurance cost for Honduran visitors to Texas?
Plans typically cost $36–$75/month per person depending on age, coverage amount, and deductible. Older visitors (65+) pay more. Most families find comprehensive coverage for under $5/day per person. Short trips of 2–4 weeks can cost as little as $25–$60 total.
What visa do most Honduran visitors use when coming to Texas?
Most Honduran visitors enter on a B-2 tourist visa. A typical visit lasts 2–4 months. Regardless of visa type, US health insurance does not automatically apply — you must purchase a separate visitors insurance policy.
Does visitors insurance cover pre-existing conditions in Texas?
Most plans cover acute onset of pre-existing conditions — sudden, unexpected emergencies like a heart attack, stroke, or diabetic crisis. Routine care for chronic conditions is not covered. This is critical for older Honduran visitors who may have diabetes, hypertension, or heart disease.
Which hospital would my family member use in Texas?
Houston Methodist Hospital is one of the top facilities in Texas. Most visitors insurance plans work at any licensed US hospital — you're not restricted to a network in an emergency. In a non-emergency, some plans have preferred networks that reduce your out-of-pocket costs. Call (832) 856-1704 for guidance.
My mother is 72 and coming from Honduras to stay with us in Houston for 3 months. How much will insurance cost?
For a 72-year-old on a 90-day plan with $100,000 coverage and $250 deductible, expect to pay approximately $190–$260/month depending on the carrier. WorldTrips Atlas America and IMG Patriot America Plus both cover ages up to 99 years. Call (832) 856-1704 and we'll pull exact quotes for her specific age and dates.
