UCLAs requirements for minimum levels of health insurance coverage are: $100,000 USD per accident & illness in medical coverage Deductible cannot exceed $500 per accident or illness Coinsurance cannot exceed 25% Medical evacuation coverage must be at least $50,000 USD Repatriation coverage must be at least $25,000 USD Pre-existing conditions must be a covered benefit. The waiting period for benefit coverage cannot exceed 12 months. Pre-existing conditions must also have a $100,000 per illness medical coverage.
