J1/J2 (Exchange Visitor) Visa Medical Insurance  
Overview   Glossary
J1 visa medical insurance is required if you are visiting the U.S. on a J-1 visa as an exchange visitor or research scholar, or if you are inviting someone in that capacity. All of the insurance plans listed below are standard J1 visa medical insurance requirements set by the U.S. Department of Insurance. While some of the J-1 visa medical insurance plans are renewable while others are not. Some of them are comprehensive coverage plans while others are fixed coverage plans. You should choose your J1 visa medical insurance carefully as all of them are not the same.
