I am a 34 year old female, non-US resident, who currently resides in Saudi Arabia and plan to travel to the US through a J1 Exchange Visitor Visa for a research trainee post which will last a year. I have typed in my details and got a list of available health insurance options. I would like to inquire/confirm if: 1) I am eligible for both the Atlas America plan and Patriot Exchange Plan? 2) Whether both plans fulfill the minimum requirements set by the Department of State for health insurance under J1 visa requirements which state "minimally acceptable insurance is: - Medical benefits of at least $100,000 per accident or illness - Repatriation of remains in the amount of $25,000 - Expenses associated with the medical evacuation of the exchange visitor to his or her home country in the amount of $50,000 - A deductible not to exceed $500 per accident or illness 3)What is the minimum amount I have to choose as the policy maximum in both plans to fulfill the Department of State criteria? 4) Why is the deductible that has to be paid per entire policy period in the Atlas America Plan as opposed to Patriot Exchange plan where the deductible paid seems to be per accident/illness.
