Health Insurance

Hello Lulu,

Cigna and Blue Cross Bue Shield are the larger ones... primarily because the gov't is a big employer here and they have switched between these two a couple times. Not sure which they currently use.

Here is a recent post about insurance that Kudzu posted:

a number of people have asked about health insurance when down here...
see this site...

we have 'reside prime' as we all live here full time.

our tiny firm on stj [4 people] finally found out about this insurance program [from some of the restaurants, who offer the same to their employees]... we tried all the 'large' stt/stx insurance programs, and got tired of them simply doubling rates, or not offering us coverage since we were too small, or just having no service at all.

theyre *cheap*, easy and fast to deal with, and provide just what we [a relatively good-health, happy group of people] need. oh, and theyll insure individuals, small groups, anything. losing or adding an employee doesnt freak them out. and no, i certainly dont work for the insurance company, i just found it to be a very good service, as it may be for others in similar situations [whether living here full time or seasonal]

Lulu,
The Virgin Islands Charteryacht League also has a policy for individuals through Lifeboat. You must reside outside the continential US for at least six months out of the year. For more email me. You can become a Honorary Member and then become eligible for the "group policy". Anyone interested, email me .... pamela@vicl.org .....
Pamela.

Pamela, I'm very interested in getting info on the "group policy." Thanks for any help.
