William Russell Program Grades

How much does William Russell health insurance cost?
William Russell determines your plan rates based on your age, country of residence, your chosen deductible (deductible), and your coverage.
How Deductibles (Deductibles) Work
If you choose a per-claim deductible, you will pay that per claim, not per treatment. For example, if you broke a rib and have a $50 deductible per claim, you only pay that $50 on your first visit. This will reduce your premiums but increase your out-of-pocket costs.
If you choose the annual deductible (annual deductible), you will pay the first $5,000 of the total treatment costs you receive each year. After the first $50,000, William Russell will cover all costs you incur. This will reduce the cost of your premium, but you will find yourself paying out of pocket until you hit your deductible.
William Russell Covered Areas
William Russell also considers your coverage when determining your premiums. Area 1 provides comprehensive coverage anywhere in the world except the United States. Zone 2 offers comprehensive coverage in most countries, but limited coverage in some countries where medical costs are higher and there is no coverage in the United States. Area 3 is only available in Indonesia, provides full coverage in most countries, but requires co-pays in several countries, and does not provide any coverage in the United States.
US report
Limited U.S. coverage is available as an additional option. This coverage is only available for travel up to 90 days in the United States.
William Russell Global Health Insurance Eligibility
