Where they're the same
- GeoBlue and IMG both run direct-billing, so the family doesn't front the ER bill and chase reimbursement later.
- Neither plan treats COVID as an exclusion; it's covered up to the standard medical limit on both.
- 24×7 phone support sits behind both plans — useful when a hospital admits at 2am IST and you need pre-auth.
- Neither plan is fixed-benefit; both reimburse real charges up to the medical limit, which is what you want for an unpredictable US bill.
No PED beyond acute-onset; not available for trips over 6 months.
Premium is materially higher than Patriot America; PED only acute-onset up to age 79.
