I have been living in Europe for the past 6 years. In 9 days I will be moving back home to Hawaii. Yesterday I broke my foot and that doctor said it will take at least 6 weeks to heal. Can I purchase health insurance (maybe HMSA or Kaiser Permanente) and be covered by the HIPAA if my previous insurance company is/was French or does it only apply to American insurance coverage? How do I come home next week as planned and still get health care for my broken foot (I am concerned that there may be some physical therapy).
Thanks in advance.
