J1 Visa Health Insurance Requirements

At any given time there are 170,000 or more individuals who have traveled to the United States for work or study exchange programs from all over the globe. Most of these people have entered the country on a J1 visa. Through this exchange program, it is hoped that these individuals will return home at the end of their stay and help spread global understanding through these educational and cultural exchanges. Besides receiving the J1 visa through a relationship with a sponsor, there are a few other requirements of those wishing to enter the United States in this manner.


Insurance Requirements

Having J1 visa insurance is not only a required part of obtaining a J1 visa, it is also a very good idea in general for many reasons. This health insurance covers any medical costs brought on by sickness or accident that you or those that travel with you on a J2 visa may need while they visit the United States.

J1 visa insurance offers coverage of up to $50,000 per accident or illness, repatriation of remains in the event of death up to $7500 and coverage of emergency evacuation expenses in the amount of $10,000. In each instance of medical emergency or illness, there should not be a deductible greater than $500. Each state may have slightly different requirements on the amount of insurance, so you should verify the level of J1 visa insurance required by the area of the country you will be traveling in before obtaining it.
