Q:Would you be able to recommend me a couple insurance policies with low deductibles that match the criteria of my school in the US (MSU)? The dates are the 21st of August to the 15th of December 2017, and I'm 19, female, non-smoker, with golfer's elbow as my previous medical history. I'm all only looking to purchase cover for myself. Here are the school's criteria: - Does your plan cover at least a minimum of $500,000 per condition without time limitation? - Does your plan have a policy year deductible of $500 or less per individual? - Does your plan cover inpatient and outpatient medical services (Including labs and x-rays)? - Does your plan cover inpatient and outpatient mental health services? - Does your plan cover prescriptions up to a minimum of $500,000? - Does your plan have a maximum out of pocket limit of $2000 per individual and $4000 per family? - Does your plan provide coverage worldwide? - Does your plan have $50,000 or more provision for medical evacuation to the international student's home country? - Does your plan have $25,000 or more provision for repatriation (removal of remains after death) to the international student's home country? - Does your plan provide coverage for the waiver period requested?

A:
The only way to meet the requirements as listed is to purchase the plan from your school. There is no plan available on the market that will meet all of the requirements. If you have additional questions please feel free to contact our office.

Q:I have one more question about deductible. You wrote "Deductible is the amount you must pay before insurance pays anything." For example, I decided for insurance with 250 $ deductible. Does it mean every time I go to hospital I have to pay deductible (250$) or only first time and every next time I don't need to pay that deductible, because I have already paid it first time. Please elaborate this with simple explanation.

Deductible in the Safe Travels USA Cost saver plan is once per policy period not every incident. Please feel free to contact us if you have any further questions.

Q:My son will be an exchange student at Dartmouth College New Hampshire for the summer 2017. He will be on a J-1 Visa. He will be signing up to the Dartmouth College Group Medical Plan which will provide coverage till 30 August. He will then be travelling in the US (New York, Washington, Philadelphia) for 2 weeks . We want to buy medical cover for these 2 weeks. (1) I assume we will still need "J-1 visa insurance" as he will still be on the J-1 visa? (2) For your online quotation page, it requires the "State" to be specified. Would we specify that to be New Hampshire, as that would be where he would be for most of the summer semester?

A:
Since he will still be on a J1 then you would want to purchase a J1 plan. You can put the state that you will be using for his mailing address on the plan. If you have additional questions please feel free to contact our office.

Q:Hello, I'm looking for a insurance plan that will comply with the following requirements - I would more than appreciate a quick response as I'm planning to arrive this Sunday, date by which my insurance should start. I'm 25 years old, originally from Ecuador and I'll be staying in Massachusetts. Best. Adrian U.S. Government regulations require J-1 scholars and J-2 dependents to have health insurance. As of May 15, 2015, the J-1 regulations require the following with respect to health insurance coverage: - Medical benefits of at least $100,000 per accident or illness - Payment for repatriation (preparation and transportation of remains to home country) in case of death in the amount of $25,000 - Payment for medical evacuation (transportation to home country on advice of attending physician) in the amount of $50,000 - A deductible not to exceed $500 per accident or illness - Coverage of pre-existing conditions after a reasonable waiting period - Payment by the insurance company of at least 75% of the costs of medical care (the patient must not be required to pay more than 25% of medical care costs) To comply with these regulations, health insurance policies must be underwritten by corporations having one of the following: - A.M. Best rating of A- or above - McGraw Hill Financial/Standard & Poor's Claims- paying Ability rating of "A-" or above - Weiss Research, Inc. rating of "B+" or above - Fitch Ratings, Inc. rating of "A-" or above - Moody's Investor Services rating of "A3" or above. Insurance backed by the full faith and credit of the exchange visitor's (J-1 scholars) government will meet this requirement. The regulations state that any exchange visitor (or accompanying dependent) who fails to maintain health insurance coverage as detailed above or who misrepresents such coverage will be in violation of U.S. Government regulations and shall be subject to termination as an exchange visitor. Harvard's health insurance plans meet the requirements of the J visa except for the repatriation and evacuation requirements. The University has agreed to cover the costs of medical evacuation and repatriation for J visa holders on Harvard's Exchange Visitor Program. The HIO has information on stand-alone repatriation and medical evacuation plans for those not on Harvard's J visa program. The ISHIP Plan also meets the J visa regulations

A:
We have several plans that will meet the requirements as listed. Please see the plan information for a couple of the recommended plans. Atlas Exchange Student Secure Elite, (Select, or Budget) If you have additional questions please feel free to contact our office.
