Hello! Thank you for the prompt reply! The guidelines are listed as below The minimum J-1 insurance coverage requirements are as follows: Provide a minimum of $100,000 per accident or illness. Medical evacuation (emergency medical transportation to the home country) covered in the amount of $50,000. Repatriation (the transportation of remains back to the home country in the unfortunate event of death) covered in the amount of $25,000. The deductible must not exceed $500 per accident or illness. I am planning to stay for a year. Will be alone and I have no medical conditions. The dates to start actually depends on the visa approval but I would expect it to be around June/July. Which would be the best recommendation?
