Virtual Urgent Care is not insurance. It is included in Gold and Silver, and you can also get it on its own. It is not a substitute for emergency care — for a medical emergency, call 911.

How it works

From comparing plans to using your coverage — here is the whole path.

  1. Step 1

    Compare the plans

    Look at Gold and Silver side by side — price, coverage, and what each one does not include — and decide which one works for you.

  2. Step 2

    Enroll online

    Enrollment takes a few minutes. You will get a confirmation as soon as it is processed.

  3. Step 3

    Use your coverage

    Get your ID card, then use virtual care or an in-network clinic whenever you need it.

Questions people ask before enrolling

Straight answers to the questions that come up most.

Who pays for this — me or my employer?

That depends on your employer’s program. Some employers pay for coverage, some split the cost, and some workers pay for it themselves — check with your employer, or ask us on WhatsApp if you are not sure.

Who is actually insuring me?

The insurer of Gold and Silver is SiriusPoint Specialty Insurance Corporation, and IMG (International Medical Group) administers the plan on its behalf. Alliant Federation is not the insurer: we help you compare plans and enroll, and we are here if you have questions — but claims and coverage decisions are made by IMG, on behalf of the insurer.

What happens to my coverage if I get let go or change ranches?

Your coverage is not tied to one employer: if you change jobs and stay in the U.S., it continues until the end of your coverage period (10 days up to 12 months, with extensions up to 24 if you remain eligible). It ends when you return to your home country, for example when your contract ends.

Does this information reach my employer or immigration?

No. Comparing plans and asking questions here does not go to your employer or to immigration — this is between you and Alliant Federation.

How long does enrollment take, and what do I need?

Enrollment takes a few minutes online. You will need basic personal information to complete it — there is no paperwork to mail in.

Have questions about the plans. Send us a message and a real person will answer — you do not need to enroll first.

Major limitations you should know

  • Routine pre-existing conditions are excluded; limited acute-onset coverage may apply under strict conditions for members under 70.
  • Maternity/pregnancy/delivery/newborn care, mental/nervous disorder treatment under IMG, preventive care/routine physicals/immunizations, and many other categories are excluded.
  • Workers-compensation-payable or available expenses are excluded; this plan does not fill every workers compensation gap.
  • The plan is not PPACA/ACA-compliant and does not provide all required PPACA benefits.
  • Direct provider payment and provider participation are not guaranteed.
  • The member Declaration and age-based limits control the actual maximum.
  • Silver only: there is no coverage if, when you bought the plan, a physician had told you in writing that you were not medically fit to travel.
  • Coverage ends the day you return to your home country. A short visit home of up to 14 days may stay covered if you have already paid for at least 30 days in a row and you are not going home to get treatment.
  • Gold and Silver cover your family members only while they are also outside their home country, for example if they travel with you to the U.S. They do not cover family who stay at home.
  • If you pay for care yourself, you have 180 days from the date of service to send IMG your complete claim. If IMG asks for more information, you have 60 days to send it. If a claim is denied, you have 90 days to appeal.
