India Network Health Insurance Announces Visitor Health Insurance Exchange for Visitors to United States, Canada and Mexico and Assistance with ObamaCare Choices











ACE American Insurance Group

Orlando, FL (PRWEB) November 21, 2014

India Network health insurance has offered various health insurance plans for visitors coming to the United States, Canada and Mexico for more than two decades. Visitor Accident and Sickness health insurance plans offered include both fixed benefit plans and comprehensive health insurance plans compatible with those offered on the national health insurance exchange at Obamacare on healthcare.gov but cost half of the price. The ACE Comprehensive PPO network plan offers coverage from age 0-99 year-olds with the option of coverage for pre-existing problems. In addition to traditional health insurance coverage, the PPO plan also provides medical evacuation benefits, repatriation benefits, and accidental death benefits of $ 25,000 for all policy holders. Fixed benefit plans offer limited benefits for lower premiums and most suitable for healthy visitors.

Many international visitor health insurance plans are underwritten by foreign insurance companies and India Network Plan is wholly administered in the United States and underwritten by a US-based Insurance company, ACE American Insurance company. All claims are directly submitted by providers to the insurance claims processor, eliminating the need for visitors to pay big bills if they get sick and they are processed in the United States.

India Network visitor health insurance with pre-existing condition coverage is available to all visitors of all ages if they purchase the plan before their arrival in the United States. Visitors already in the United States can still purchase a standard health insurance that covers new medical conditions and accidents. Online enrollment forms on the India Network website provide an easy way to complete enrollment into one of the plans offered by the plan and pay the premiums using the credit card, including international credit cards with US dollar denominations. The Instant Quote link displays all available plans and premiums along with coverage details in an easy format for visitors to understand and choose the right plan for their needs.

Dr. KV Rao, President, India Network Foundation said that all visitors and sponsors of visitors should be aware that purchasing a health plan before visitors arrive in the United States will help quickly resolve any claims that may happen right after arrival. It costs much less to purchase health insurance plans for sponsored visitors rather than dealing with collection departments of various medical practices and hospitals.

India Network visitor health insurance plans are available only on the India Network website and not offered through any agents or agencies in India or in the United States. All visitors are advised to read policy language carefully as there are many plans that look like India Network health insurance program in the market place but are not same.

About India Network Foundation

India Network Foundation, established as a US non-profit organization, has been helping the Asian Indian community in North America with programs and travel grants to academics from India for more than two decades. India Network Foundation sponsors visitor health insurance to tourists, students, temporary workers (H1 visa holders) and their families.

When it comes to small business owners, small business cash advance can be considered amongst the many alternative merchant funding solutions. Similar to most of the financing options provided by lenders, they come with both the positives as well as the negatives. If the owner is stuck in tight credit market, he will take the funds from wherever it is available. Small business cash advance can be considered a form of receivable financing. It is mainly a targeted receivable funding, where the receivable comes from the transactions done through credit cards.

Let us check out some of the reasons why small business cash advance should get a nod from owners of small businesses, when they are looking for merchant funding solutions.

€ It helps businesses to survive, especially during recession. They can take care of the urgent bills, even if their business has been running low at that time.
€ For businesses with short-term problem related to cash flow, small business cash advance provides a considerable help.
€ If there is a need for an urgent access to fund, then small business cash advance definitely helps. You can pay it off, whenever you have funds available in your business.
€ Even though in most cases, cash advance does come with high premiums and interest rates, there are private lenders in the financial market that offer rates close to what is offered on conventional loan. In such cases, you should prefer that deal to the traditional loan offer, as the processing is faster and the money reaches your account in no time whatsoever. You can buy machines or do similar business development programs using the money in such cases and have a longer repayment plan placed.

While it has benefits, which you can avail, there are a few things, which you should be aware of before going for a small business cash advance.

€ Interest rates are very high. If taken for a longer term, there are chances that you might end up paying close to the principal amount. There are two things, which you can do, in such a scenario. Firstly, you should never take such merchant funding solutions for a longer term. Secondly, you should try to go through the market and try to find out a reasonable deal available for you.
€ In case a fixed percentage of credit card sales is taken away daily, you might not have enough amount of money to cover for your operating expenses. Over here, what you must do is to make sure that the funding amount should be close to what is needed for your business. This will assure that the daily repayment amount will be low. Again, you should also be aware of your daily earnings as well as expenses and plan the repayment accordingly to assure that you do not get stuck later on.

Small business cash advance is amongst the advantageous merchant funding solutions available out there. However, you need to take the step carefully and make sure that it does not become a problem in the longer run.
