Visitor Insurance for Syrians Traveling to the USA

Syria's Healthcare Has No Coverage in the United States
Syria's Ministry of Health and limited Social Insurance Organisation (SIO) coverage are confined to domestic facilities — neither covers treatment in the United States. Syria and the US have no bilateral healthcare agreement. A US ER visit averages $3,100; one hospital night runs $11,700. Syrian nationals visiting or resettled in the US transition to full out-of-pocket exposure once insurance from resettlement programmes ends: a single cardiac event can exceed $60,000 in uncovered US bills.
Pre-Existing Conditions — What's Covered for Syrians?
US visitors insurance uses "acute onset" coverage — emergency treatment for a sudden flare of a known condition is typically covered.
| Condition | Acute Onset Covered? | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Type 2 Diabetes | ✓ Yes | Acute onset emergency covered under IMG & WorldTrips |
| Hypertension / High Blood Pressure | ✓ Yes | Sudden cardiac event or stroke covered as acute onset |

| Arthritis | ✗ Limited | Routine care not covered; acute fracture unrelated to arthritis is covered |
| Kidney Disease (CKD) | ✗ Limited | Dialysis is excluded; acute infection or emergency is covered |
