Q:Regarding insurance for J1/J2 visa I am (31 years old) applying for J1 visa, and my wife (22 years old) will join me as J2 dependent. We live in Belgium. I will stay for a year at Purdue University, as a visiting scholar, from next May. I planned for this research-stay from November 2015. Recently, my wife got pregnant. The doctor informed us about the pregnant on 29 December 2015. Do you an insurance plan to get the medical coverage for childbirth costs (vaginal delivery or cesarean section), including/or not baby's nursery care?

A:
Hello, Thank your for contacting Insubuy for your insurance needs. However, there are no plans that we can offer you to cover maternity or child birth cost. With plans that are available conception has to happen after the effective date of the policy for any coverage to apply. So she would not qualify for any plans that would assist in these expenses. If you need any further assistance please feel free to contact our office.

For information on the Patriot Exchange Plan you can go through this link: /patriot-exchange-program-insurance/ To purchase the Patriot Exchange Plan you can use this link: /patriot-exchange-program-insurance/ Please let us know if you have any further questions. thanks, can you tell me the reason, why the Visitors care does meet the requirement? The new J1 visa requirements require a repatriation of remains benefit of $25,000, and the policy maximum must be per injury or sickness. The Visitors care plan has a repatriation of remains benefit of $7,500 and the policy maximum is per period of coverage. This is why the plan does not meet the new J1 visa requirements. If you have any additional questions please let us know.
