J1 Visa Insurance Plans

J1 Visa Insurance Plans

International Student Health Insurance plans for the J1 Visa
A J1 visa holder is either a student or scholar who comes to the United States to participate in a work-and-study based exchange visitor program. Every month, 170,000 J1 students and scholars work, study, and teach throughout the United States.
If you are traveling to the USA on a J1 visa (either as a student or a scholar), as part of your visa requirements, you - and any family members traveling with you - will be required to have adequate health insurance coverage for the full duration of your trip. Some schools and sponsor organizations provide a mandatory group health insurance that meets these J1 health insurance requirements, while other programs may allow you to purchase coverage your own.
If your school or sponsor does not provide J1 health insurance coverage, or you would like to purchase your own plan, we have a variety of options available to you and your dependents that will meet and exceed the minimum J1 health insurance requirements set forth by the US Department of State.

The most popular J1 student and scholar visa insurance is the Student Secure student health insurance plan. All J1 visa holders are eligible for the Student Secure plan and you can purchase a minimum of a month, or you can renew up to four years. Coverage includes doctor visits, hospitalization, maternity, mental health, pre-existing conditions, and organized sports.

If you will be coming to the US on a J1 visa for one year or less, the Atlas Travel Medical insurance plan is an excellent option. Not only does this plan allow you to add your dependents (where up to two children under the age of 9 are free when an adult is included on the plan), the plan provides coverage up to $1 million with the option to have accident and illness coverage along with travel benefits including lost checked luggage, trip interruption, emergency reunion, natural disaster coverage, and more.
