Most comprehensive coverage plans participate in a PPO network which has many participating doctors or hospitals all over the U.S. that bill the insurance company directly and also charge you only the network negotiated fees.

Many visitors insurance plans provide coverage for acute onset of pre-existing conditions up to certain extent for persons below a certain age.
