Is it possible to purchase medical insurance for my father in Trinidad and Tobago

Question: 
Hello,
I want to purchase medical insurance for my father who resides in Trinidad and Tobago. is this possible?

Answer: 

Yes, it is possible for you to purchase medical
insurance for your father with an international health insurance plan and
Pacific Prime can help you find the best plan to suit your father’s needs in Trinidad and Tobago.
However, while you can pay for your fathers plan by providing your payment
details, it will still be necessary for him to complete the initial application
himself.

Pacific Prime works with over 60 established health insurance
companies and can offer you a large range of options which cover many
international destinations for your father as a result.
The international health plans
we provide are normally guaranteed renewable for life and can offer global portability
therefore allowing your father to take his plan with him should he decide to
leave Trinidad and Tobago
at any stage. What’s more, our plans are usually incredibly flexible and will
typically allow your father his choice of hospital or medical facility wherever
he is, should he require treatment.

Working out the premiums
of a plan can be a little confusing so we try and make this a simple process.
Premiums for an international health insurance policy provided by Pacific Prime
will be based on your father’s age, his location and any other optional
benefits he may require. This means that even if your father has been associated
with other plans in the past, his previous claims history will not impact his
new premium and he will be paying the same as those in his age bracket and
location.
Age plays a particularly important role in premium calculation since the chance
of falling ill to sickness or injury undoubtedly increases as you get older, making age the most reliable way to measure an
individual’s level of health.

However, you should note that while it should not
be an issue for you to pay for your father’s premium, this will only be
possible for a plan that does not include life
insurance protection. Life protection plans are designed to protect the
policyholder’s family should the policyholder happen to experience a serious
incident or death. If your father is seeking life insurance protection, these
types of policies are accompanied by ‘insurable interest’ and he will need to
pay for the policy on his own.

Payment can be carried out in a number of major
currencies and in a variety of ways. When assisting your father with his
application, you will be given numerous payment options including monthly,
quarterly, semi-annual and annual payment plans and can pay by any means you
wish.

A Pacific Prime international health insurance plan
could offer your father a high level of comprehensive care and will typically
include many benefits and options. Most plans will normally include a range of
coverage options including:

Inpatient
health insurance

Outpatient
health insurance

Dental
treatment

Emergency
evacuation

Vaccination
and preventative healthcare

War
and terrorism insurance

As Trinidad and Tobago
are relatively small islands, the healthcare facilities are limited and basic
in some areas. Living in a remote location such as this always comes with
certain risks and if anything unfortunate were to happen to your father, he may
have to be transported overseas to a more sophisticated medical facility such
as one in Miami.
Helicopter and air fare fees are normally very expensive so we would highly
recommend the optional emergency
evacuation coverage option to be a part of your fathers plan.
