Question:

I have obtained a postdoctoral position in Umass medical School and there will be a 2 months gap in my insurance coverage. I will be deeply grateful if you tell me does your programs for J1 visas cover the minimum requirements of my school and please send me a fee? Here, I am forwarding their policy. I am going to buy for me (J1) and my spouse (J2). Thank you https://www.umassmed.edu/hr/immigration_services/immigration-visa-travel/common-immigration-categories/j-1-status/j-1-insurance/ Minimum health insurance coverage must provide all of the following: 1. Medical benefits of at least $100,000 per accident or illness; 2. In case of death, repatriation of remains in the amount of $25,000*; 3. In case of serious illness or injury, payment of expenses associated with the medical evacuation of the Exchange Visitor to his or her home country in the amount of $50,000*; 4. A deductible not to exceed $500 per accident or illness.

Answer:

If you only have to meet the standard requirements set by the U.S. department of state and there are no additional requirements from your school, any of the plans in the J visa section would meet these requirements.
