Where they're the same
- 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.
- Both are true comprehensive plans — they pay actual hospital bills, not capped per-day or per-procedure amounts.
- Mid-trip extensions are supported on both — handy when a flight is rebooked or care is ongoing.
No PED beyond acute-onset; not available for trips over 6 months.
No PPO network — reimbursement model means upfront payment at most US hospitals
