History of Diaspora

admin — Fri, 23 Apr 2010 15:26:25 +0000

DIASPORA was created by Rudy Rupak, the co-founder of PlanetHospital.com. PlanetHospital.com was the world’s first Medical Tourism company,established in 2002. When Rudy started PlanetHospital, it was because there was a real need for affordable quality medical care and for care that was not easily available in one’s home country.

In 2005, Rudy started to explore ways of bringing arbitrage to the insurance world. Rudy met with several of the major insurers with this idea, but many did not understand it. After spending four years in a futile attempts to partner with a major health care provider with this initiative, and after serving over 2000+ patients around the world with their desperate medical needs – many who could not afford their care in the US – Rudy declared publicly that he would do something to make healthcare affordable by Dec 31, 2010. Diaspora was a result of this idea.

Diaspora is not an insurance company. Diaspora merely invented an insurance product in conjunction with another insurer and a hospital group. Diaspora markets its own invention, but the actual insurance services are provided by CRUM & FORSTER, an A Rated Insurance group with its headquarters in Canada.

Legal Disclosure

Diaspora cannot be marketed in the US, it cannot be sold by US brokers, it cannot be advertised in the US, but anyone in the world can buy a Diaspora policy from this website or by calling our call center and applying over the phone.

Diaspora itself is NOT an insurance company and does not retain any premiums. Diaspora has come up with the concept of a medical tourism based healthcare plan and it approached several insurance companies to help develop the product in conjunction with a group of hospitals in Mexicali.

Summary of Diaspora Plan

admin — Tue, 09 Mar 2010 00:27:19 +0000

DIASPORA offers up to $100,000 of accidental medical coverage anywhere in the world, including the USA. For all non emergencies, you would visit one of our partner hospitals in Mexicali, Mexico where you will receive state of the art care for very low deductibles (click here to see our deductible rates). Diaspora does NOT cover MEDICAL emergencies, ONLY ACCIDENTS (such as car accidents, broken bones, accidental gunshot wounds, etc.). But for an additional fee, you can purchase supplemental coverage for such things as heart/stroke emergencies. It typically costs an additional $50/month for up to $30,000 of coverage. This will be discussed by your underwriter.

If you have a pre-existing condition, DIASPORA will still cover you but you will have to be ridered out for any care that is related to your pre-existing condition for three years. For example, if you have diabetes, you will still be covered for accidents and surgeries that have nothing to do with diabetes such as a hernia repair, a hysterectomy, etc.

For procedures that are not found at the Mexicali location, you will have a $5,000 credit towards your procedure in any PlanetHospital facility.
