What sort of insurance coverage is available for Immigrant Parent?

My husband and I are considering bringing his mother to the United States to live with us but we need to find the best option for medical insurance for her. We both have insurance through our employers, but it seems to only be for the policyholder and his/her spouse and children. What sort of coverage is available for a mother-in-law and what sort of requirements are there to obtain it? We plan on obtaining resident alien status for her.

There may be options available to your mother-in-law. To best direct you, we need to ask a couple more questions: 1) What is her age? 2) Will she be on a tourist VISA when she first comes to the U.S.? 3) What state will she be living in? 4) Does she have any pre-existing medical conditions? She may first need to obtain an international or travel health plan, and then apply for domestic coverage once she has been here for awhile. We can best advise you when you reply to the questions above.
