Answer
All the experiences you see on our web site are made by customers just like you. You can make good judgement from that regarding where to buy visitor medical insurance from. Of course, all the choices are open to you.
If you are traveling to USA, it is certainly better to buy insurance from US companies as the service will be better and claim settlement will be easier and faster. Look at http://www.here.org/forum/showthread.php?t=8268 for more information.
Of course, there may be other international companies from other countries that is not US or India. But why even consider them when are you traveling to USA and there already US companies with proven track record?
There are 2 types of products.
Fixed: Limited, cheaper. http://www.buyamericaninsurance.com/...?section=fixed
Comprehensive: Better, more expensive. http://www.buyamericaninsurance.com/...=comprehensive
You can buy either of those 2 types of plans online at our web site, http://www.buyamericaninsurance.com
And for your information, for age over 55 years, most private companies in India are ONLY fixed coverage, such as Tata AIG, ICICI Lombard, Bajaj Allianz. They simply don't have comprehensive coverage.
