Where they're the same
- Both Nationwide Prime and Liaison Travel Plus settle directly with US hospitals — no $50k credit card hold at admission.
- 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.
PED still acute-onset; ongoing treatment excluded.
PED only acute-onset and age-capped at 69; trip cancellation is limited, not a full TC plan.
