Answer:

Does your sponsor have any requirements that need to be met? Most of the answers to the questions below would vary depending on the plan you choose so we would need to know if they have additional requirements first. 

All of the plans in the J1/J2 visa section of our website will meet the standard State Department of Insurance requirements. If your sponsor has requirements we can recommend a plan and then answer the questions based on that plan.
