Where they're the same
- Both Diplomat America and Liaison Travel Plus settle directly with US hospitals — no $50k credit card hold at admission.
- COVID-19 treatment is in scope on both — handled like any other illness, not a separate rider.
- 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.
Minimum 90-day policy; not economical for short visits.
PED only acute-onset and age-capped at 69; trip cancellation is limited, not a full TC plan.
