and Students Studying outside the U.S.
www.InternationalStudentPlan.com

 

In the United States, individuals and families are responsible for their own health care costs.  A comprehensive health insurance plan is also important to receive proper medical care and to prevent financial loss due to an unforeseen accident.  Most Americans depend on private health insurance, and you should do the same. 

Foreign students on J-1 visas attending a school or university in the US are required to have medical, 
evacuation and repatriation coverage for themselves and their dependents. 

The U.S. Information Agency, which is responsible for the J-1 Exchange Visitor Visa requires the following criteria: 

  1. Medical benefits of at least $50,000 per accident or illness
  2. Repatriation of remains in the amount of $7,500
  3. Expenses associated with the medical evacuation of the exchange visitor to his or her home country in the amount of $10,000; and
  4. A deductible not to exceed $500 per accident or illness

Americans studying abroad also face challenges of receiving proper medical care when traveling or living outside the USA and in most cases your home country insurance will not follow you abroad. 

Choosing an Insurance Policy

  • Is the company reliable and have an AM Best rating?
