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.
Reimbursement-only (no direct billing); medical cap is lower than dedicated visitor plans.
Not auto-renewable; PED window is brief.
