WHO NEEDS THIS PLAN?

US Citizens
For US citizens relocating or spending an extended amount of time overseas, security and flexibility are two essential ingredients of their medical program. There are thousands of medical insurance programs offered throughout the world, but there are just as many differences in the quality of both the programs and the insurance companies offering them. As US citizens, we are accustomed to a certain degree of stability. RESIDE Prime is underwritten by an A-"Excellent" rated insurance entity. Great care was taken to offer a program that gives insured's the same level of security abroad that they experience at home.

Foreign Nationals
A comprehensive plan providing protection in your home country as well as the freedom to travel abroad is hard to find. Finding a program with these qualities offered by a US insurance company is next to impossible. The RESIDE Prime Worldwide Medical Plan combines the stability and financial strength of a superior underwriter with the flexibility of a universal policy.

ELIGIBILITY

The Reside Prime program is available to persons of any country who are at least 15 days of age and who are not older then age 74. Non-US citizens may reside anywhere in the world, including their Home Country. US citizens must either reside outside the United States, or expect their departure from the United States within 30 days of the plan's effective date. In addition, insured persons must continue to reside outside the United States for at least 6 months during any given policy year in order to remain eligible.

APPLYING FOR COVERAGE

To apply, all you need to do is complete the application in full and pay the appropriate premium, given your age category and desired deductible amount. Be sure to answer all sections and questions as completely, accurately, and as legible as possible. The application you complete becomes part of your certificate of coverage should you be accepted. Once the underwriters have had an opportunity to review the application, SRI may request additional information from the applicant. If you are accepted, you will receive and ID Card confirming your effective date and conditions of acceptance, as well as a claim form and a certificate of coverage, which describes the program in complete detail and describes how the insurance can be utilized. If you are ultimately not accepted, SRI will return your premium without delay.

WORLDWIDE COVERAGE

RESIDE Prime is designed to cover Insured Persons 24 hours a day, seven days a week, regardless of where in the world they may be located. As an international citizen, you will no longer need to purchase multiple insurance programs in order to have seamless protection. Coverage in the United States is limited to 6 months during any 12 month Policy Period.

RENEWABILITY

This coverage is issued for twelve months, subject to receipt of premium payment when due and continued eligibility by all insureds. The program is guaranteed renewable (at the then current renewal premium rate for the age of the Insured Persons) and may not be terminated by the Company unless the Company terminates an entire class of Insured Persons (persons of the same age, location, etc.).

MATERNITY

RESIDE Prime provides maternity and newborn child benefits to eligible Insured Persons, who are the Primary Insured or Spouse, up to $7500 per pregnancy. A pregnancy must be Pre-Notified during the first 90 days of the pregnancy. Failure to Pre-Notify a pregnancy will result in a 100% reduction in eligible benefits. The plan does not pay expenses related to a pregnancy within the first 12 months of coverage.

INTERNATIONAL TRAVELER'S COVERAGE

When the Insured Person travels outside of their home country, in addition to the standard benefit, they will be covered for Repatriation of Mortal Remains and Emergency Reunion coverage.
