Prices exclude cover inside the US by 20% to 30% where your programme allows it. COVID-19 treatment is included on all student and scholar plans. Teladoc phone consultations are free on TaiAn plans, with no deductible and no pre-existing exclusion.
Group membership costs $5, once (non-refundable), and takes 10% off the premium of the TaiAn Patriot Exchange and TaiAn Exchange Select plans. On the most popular plan, under 25, that is around $67 back over a 12-month policy. Joining and group purchase are completed on the TaiAn Financial site.
