This was not a requirement of the Insurance, just the care facility decided that they did not want to deal with that Insurance.

Needless to say, I was not happy with the situation. So do you have any recommendations? The visitors are in the 70s.

TIA
That is pretty much what any medical facility will tell you. Short term travel insurance isn't the same and having a USA health insurance policy. Also if you do not reside in the USA there is no way to get payment if the travel insurance refuses the claim. Pretty much you will need to pay up front and then claim back from the travel insurance.
