Pre Existing Conditions for Visitor Insurance

A pre-existing condition is an existing medical problem that an individual is already suffering from before enrolling into a visitor insurance plan.
Whether or not a person is aware, if a physician or the medical results reveal that the particular problem is not something new, it will be categorized as a pre-existing condition by Insurance company. Most visitor's insurances will not cover pre-existing conditions.

You may now ask - “If pre-existing conditions are not covered, why buy visitor's insurance ?" .
Theoretically, the basic idea behind any insurance is to cover the unknown risks, and insurance company do not want to put themselves into a situation knowingly, where they have to pay more to cover existing problems. Very simple analogy to this is that: If you don't have auto insurance, and you meet with an accident, you cannot buy an auto insurance that will cover damages on your existing car. Does this mean that people should not buy auto insurance ? I guess not, you still buy an insurance to cover any problem that can happen any time without any warning...
Similarly, not all health issues are due to pre-existing conditions. so you surely need a health insurance to protect yourself from major expenses.
