Where they're the same
- 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.
- Neither plan is fixed-benefit; both reimburse real charges up to the medical limit, which is what you want for an unpredictable US bill.
- If the visit gets extended, both can be renewed mid-trip without re-buying from scratch.
Minimum 90-day policy; not economical for short visits.
Each trip is capped (typically 30–45 days). Not for one long stay
