J1 and J2 health insurance Myself, (33 year age) will come to USA in June 2016 with my wife (30 year) and child (2 years) as visiting scholar for 1 year. My visa type is J1 and my family members are of J2 type. I will come to Ohio State University for 1 year visiting scholar program. Now, as per rule of U S Department of State (DOS), certain level of health insurance coverage for all J-1 scholars and J-2 dependents are required. That means that all J-1 scholars and J-2 dependents hosted at The Ohio State University are required by law to have health insurance that meets DOS requirements. By going through the your website I have seen some insurance for me (J 1) and my wife and child (J 2 visa type) like ATLAS AMERICA ($ 1858/year), PATRIOT EXCHANGE PROGRAM (($ 2441/year) etc. My query is that this insurances are meeting the DOS requirement or not for J1 and J2 dependent visas? J1/J2 visa insurance requirements • Each J visa holder must purchase insurance that meets the following minimum requirements: • 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. Please also tell me these insurance companies will sign the compliance form or not?
Thank you for your interest in purchasing insurance through us. Yes, both plans you have mentioned meet the J1/J2 requirements set by the DOS and will sign the compliance form. If you need additional assistance please feel free to contact our office.
