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.
  • Neither plan is fixed-benefit; both reimburse real charges up to the medical limit, which is what you want for an unpredictable US bill.
Watch out: Reliance Travel Care USA

PED limited to acute onset only

Watch out: RoundTrip Choice

Reimbursement-only (no direct billing); medical cap is lower than dedicated visitor plans.
