Question:

J1 visitor insurance needed I will be undertaking a placement year at Nova Southeastern University, Florida this coming academic year and require insurance. Having looked around, the student secure option you offer seems the best suited due to providing coverage for intramural sports. I will be undertaking a research placement at the uni and will therefore not be enrolled as a student, however I will be living on campus and am a full time student in the UK taking a placement as an essential aspect of my degree. I have an J1 Visa which is of the research scholar or professor subcategory, does this still enable me to be covered by the student secure insurance?

Answer:

Thank you for your interest in purchasing from Insubuy. Provided that your insurance meet the requirements set by your university as a J1 visa holder you are eligible to purchase the student secure plan. If you would like assistance in verifying the insurance meets your requirement please provide the requirements as well as the name of the plan you are purchasing i.e. student secure,, select , budget, elite. We will be more than happy to verify this for you. If you need any further assistance please feel free to contact our office.


Thanks for your clarification, below are the requirements for the school: Medical Benefits: $100,000 Repatriation of Remains: $25,000 Medical Evacuation: $50,000 Deductible (per accident or illness): $500 I would be looking at the budget or select plan of the student secure insurance. Would these be suitable?


The requirements you forwarded are the basic J1 requirements. Therefore any of the Student Secure plans will work with at least the 100,000 policy maximum. I have attached the link for the J1 compliant plans including the Student Secure plans. Please let us know if you have any additional questions. /j1-visa-medical-insurance/
