NRIOL.NET Updates Visitors Insurance Comparison Engine

Leave a comment

NRIOL.NET, a leading visitors insurance website of International Services, Inc., has upgraded its insurance comparison shopping solution making it faster and easier to procure medical insurance for visitors & immigrants.

The latest release of the software on its website includes additions of plans to the portfolio, streamlining the comparison shopping process and improved presentation of plan information. These changes are reflected in the international student health insurance & visitor health insurance comparison engines.

“There have been numerous changes in plan benefits, exclusions and rates for 2011 and our timely new release is proof of our commitment to our clients and our underwriters,”said Chiranth Nataraj, President & CEO of International Services, Inc.

Keeping with the general trend in the insurance industry, the visitor travel insurance premiums for 2011 have increased; and there has been a significant increase in premiums in the senior age bracket of 70 years and above. The good news is that a few plans are still available for travelers with well controlled stable medical conditions; they can obtain coverage for sudden and acute onset of pre-existing conditions.

It is a well known fact that Senior US citizens are not covered by Medicare during their travel overseas (page 6 of the US Passport states that Medicare/Medicaid does not cover for healthcare costs outside the U.S.). Prudent travel cancellation insurance shoppers can compare plans on NRIOL.NET and obtain the right level of overseas medical coverage and protection for their non-refundable trip costs.

Online enrollment and instant insurance ID card fulfillment have been very popular onhttp://www.nriol.net; a vast majority of the company’s clients embrace the secure online purchase and fulfillment mode. Within a few minutes of the purchase the insurance ID card and certificate are available for online download.

“Sports teams that spend seasons abroad are at an increased risk of injuries and contracting diseases. Medical coverage abroad is necessary for sports teams. If your team doesn’t offer international medical insurance, you should consider getting it on your own; or asking the team to provide it. Group Enrollment for teams is so affordable that there is no reason to overlook protection,” says Pallavi Sadekar at International Services, Inc.

According to Chiranth Nataraj, CEO of International Services, Inc.: “Coverage shouldn’t be limited to where you live; it shouldn’t have boundaries at all.”

International Services, Inc. Answers Missionaries’ Prayers with their Website, iVisitorInsurance.com

Leave a comment

Glen Allen, VA – International Services, Inc., a leading visitors health insurance agency, acknowledges that missionaries in the US and abroad are facing a lot of uncertainty. The US missionaries abroad fear the impact of ‘Obamacare’ on their policies, and foreign missionaries in the US are concerned with finding the right visitors health insurance to cover them and their families. This is why the company made their website, http://www.ivisitorinsurance.com, available to help them with their options.

“I love doing God’s work, and I know that He is the Provider. We are far from home and concerned that our health insurance isn’t going to cut it when the time comes to make changes. I want to know that my family will be covered in case the worst happens,” says Kristi, missionary.

Many other missionaries share Kristi’s fears as a missionary to South Africa states, “When we were home on sabbatical we made sure to get all of our checkups, shots, and annual exams. We didn’t know if we would be covered for any of that once we got back to Durban.”

“Being a missionary in Germany is hard enough without the fear that comes with not knowing what to expect from our insurance company,” says Eric, a missionary with Word of Life Fellowship.

Missionaries all over the world are dealing with the same thing; the uncertainty of what’s coming. Change is coming and they don’t want the change to hurt their ministries.

Visitors health insurance may be the answer to their fervent prayers. With this type of health insurance you are covered while abroad no matter where you are or how long you plan on staying. Websites like iVisitorInsurance are insurance advocates that offer support, accurate quotes, and information on this type of health insurance and can even point you in the direction of international student health insurance for when your children attend school in a foreign country. Visitors health insurance, also known as visitors medical insurance, covers hospitalization, medicine for illnesses or chronic conditions, surgeries, and each patient is covered for up to $50,000 USD.

Doing the work of God is a calling that not many answer, but when they do they should have the chance at quality medical insurance without the uncertainty, confusion, and runaround offered by many US based insurance companies.

Leave a comment

* The pharmaceutical market in Japan, valued at $69.4 billion in 2009 is the second largest pharma market in the world.
* Accreditation is a step towards strengthening Elder’s position as a supplier of APIs and intermediates in the Japanese market.
* Elder has already filed a PCT patent for one of the advanced intermediates for the Japanese market.

Mumbai, India, January 04, 2011 — Elder Pharmaceuticals Limited, the USD 160 mn Indian pharmaceuticals major has received accreditation from Ministry of Health-Japan for its API [Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients] plant at Patalganga, Maharashtra opening up the fast-growing Japanese markets for the companies products. This accreditation is considered to be very difficult to get as only companies with the very best of infrastructure and quality are able to get this accreditation.

“Elder is positioning itself to be an API and advanced intermediate supplier to the Japanese market. This accreditation for the API plant is a step towards strengthening Elder’s position as a supplier of APIs and intermediates in the Japanese market,” informed Mr. Alok Saxena, Director, Elder Pharmaceuticals Limited. “The company has also developed two products going off patent in the Japanese market in 2014. One of the products is from the CNS category and the second is from the GI segment.” Elder has already filed a PCT patent [an international patent application] for one of the advanced intermediates for the Japanese market and is in talks with Japanese generic companies for supply contracts.

The pharmaceutical market in Japan, valued at $69.4 billion in 2009 is the second largest pharma market in the world. Key growth drivers for branded pharma include the growing use of chronic high-value innovative treatments driven by an increasingly elderly population, the high proportion of the healthcare budget spent on pharmaceuticals compared to other developed pharmaceutical markets, and the low level of generic penetration. Japan is increasing the share of its healthcare spend on generics pharma and it is targeting this share to go up to 30% of its total market by 2013.
