Question:

I am looking for a health insurance that meets the J-1 Visa requirements (indicated below) and will cover doctor visits and blood/urine tests of a person that has a chronic disease. The J-1 requirements are: Minimum Insurance Coverage Insurance shall cover: medical benefits of at least 100,000 dollars per person per accident or illness repatriation of remains in the amount of 25,000 dollars expenses associated with medical evacuation in the amount of 50,000 dollars. Additional Terms A policy secured to fulfill the insurance requirements shall not have a deductible that exceeds 500 dollars per accident or illness and must meet other standards specified in the regulations.

Answer:

We do offer plans that meet standard J1 requirement, and that can also include some pre-existing condition coverage after a 6 month or 12 month waiting period.

However the pre-existing condition coverage available  after the plan specific waiting periods, will exclude chronic conditions. Therefore we do not offer any plans that will provide that type of coverage.

The only plans we are aware of that could possibly provide some of that type of coverage would be the domestic insurance offered through a university or sponsor.

Please let us know if you have any additional questions.
