Elev8 Insurance Brokerage, a specialized international health and travel insurance consultancy, has completed comprehensive research revealing critical coverage gaps that leave non-citizens vulnerable to devastating medical expenses during their stay in the United States. The study examined thousands of insurance claims and medical incidents involving international visitors, students, and temporary residents.Elev8 Insurance Brokerage provides expert guidance on international health insurance solutions, specializing in coverage for expats, digital nomads, students abroad, and global travelers. The company focuses extensively on health insurance for non-citizens navigating America's complex healthcare system, where a single emergency room visit can cost thousands of dollars and specialized treatments can reach six-figure amounts. Services include policy analysis, claims assistance, and regulatory compliance guidance across multiple countries and visa categories.
"What we discovered should alarm anyone planning to visit or temporarily reside in America without proper coverage," said a company spokesperson. "Non-citizens are falling through massive cracks in the system, facing medical bankruptcies, denied treatments, and emergency deportations due to unpaid medical bills. The gap between what people think they have covered and reality is shocking. Families lose their life savings over a broken bone or appendicitis because they trusted inadequate policies."
The research identified that 73% of visitors rely on basic travel insurance policies that exclude common medical scenarios, while others assume coverage from home countries extends to American healthcare facilities. Elev8 Insurance Brokerage found that finding the best health insurance for visitors to the USA requires understanding pre-existing condition clauses, network restrictions, and emergency evacuation benefits that most people never consider until catastrophe strikes. The analysis showed that poor coverage decisions made before arrival often result in financial devastation that follows families for decades.
These findings underscore the urgent need for specialized insurance education as international travel continues recovering to pre-pandemic levels. Medical costs in America remain among the world's highest, with non-citizens particularly vulnerable to surprise billing practices and out-of-network charges that can multiply expenses beyond reasonable budget expectations. Emergency procedures, hospital stays, and specialist consultations can bankrupt families within days.
