Medical Insurance for Individuals and Groups Involved in Educational or Cultural Exchange
1 Month to 4 Years
Hello. Hola. Hallo. Hej. 您好.
You can greet someone in a foreign country in many ways. When you travel, stay safe and secure by saying hello to Patriot Exchange ProgramSM, a one-of-a-kind international medical insurance plan that brings you Global Peace of Mind® when you're traveling abroad.
Traveling abroad can be an exciting experience, especially when you're involved in an educational or cultural exchange program. But what would happen if you became ill or injured while away from home? Your experience can quickly turn frightening if you're not prepared for a medical emergency.
Whether your trip takes you abroad for a few weeks or an entire year, your cultural exchange experience should be an enjoyable one. You have enough to worry about when you're traveling. Don't let your medical coverage be an uncertainty. Patriot Exchange ProgramSM provides you, your group, and your dependents traveling with you Coverage Without Boundaries®. The plan offers a package of international benefits available 24-hours a day. Simply select the plan option that best fits your needs.
The Patriot Exchange Program is designed to meet the U.S. visa insurance requirements for individuals and groups of two or more students studying abroad or participating in a cultural exchange program, including J1 and J2 visa holders. Coverage may be purchased for spouses and unmarried, dependent children traveling with the student/participant. Individuals and groups can select from different plan options - $50,000*, $100,000, $250,000, and $500,000 maximum limit per illness/ injury. This program also offers two different areas of coverage, and an optional add-on rider for high school sports, personal liability and legal assistance. In addition, groups may purchase annually-renewable long-term plans that have the flexibility to be tailored to meet specific needs of each program.
*The $50,000 maximum limit per Illness/Injury option does not comply with J1 and J2 visa requirements.

To be eligible to apply to the Patriot Exchange Program plan, you must:
Before you begin your travel, simply apply online for the time period you, your group, and/or your dependents will be traveling.
Eligible individuals listed on the application and for whom premiums have been paid will be covered from the latest of the following dates:
We process applications in a quick, timely manner. Once processing is complete, they will email the fulfillment kit(s) to the email listed in the application. The fulfillment kit(s) will include an identification card(s), and the insurance certificate providing a complete description of the rights and benefits under the contract.
1) Coverage and benefits are subject to the deductible, limits, and coinsurance, and all terms of the certificate of insurance and master policy and all governing documents, as summarized in the certificate of insurance. 2) Coverage under a Patriot Exchange Program plan is secondary to any other coverage. 3) Coverage and benefits are for eligible medical expenses which are medically necessary and usual, reasonable and customary. 4) Charges must be administered or ordered by a licensed physician. 5) Charges must be incurred during the period of coverage.
Eligible insureds can request coverage under the plan be renewed a minimum of five (5) days, up to a maximum of 48 continuous months, as long as the premium is paid when due and the insured continues to meet the eligibility requirements of the plan.
Non-U.S. Citizens: As non-resident aliens, international students, scholars, and people involved in cultural exchange programs on F, J, M, or Q visas (and certain family members) are not subject to the individual mandate for their first five years in the U.S. All other J categories (teacher, trainee, work and travel, au pair, high school, etc.) are not subject to the individual mandate if in the U.S. for two of the past six years. Since international students are not subject to the mandate, they are not required to purchase a plan that meets ACA requirements and can purchase the Patriot Exchange Program.
U.S. Citizens: Under the ACA, all U.S. citizens, nationals, and resident aliens are required to purchase minimum essential coverage (ACA-compliant coverage), unless they are exempt. Exempt U.S. citizens include U.S. citizens who reside outside of the U.S. for 330 of any 365-day period, or have a tax home (main place of work or employment, or if you don’t have a main place of work or employment, your main residence) in a foreign country, and are a bona fide resident of a foreign country.
Please note that this insurance is not subject to, and does not provide benefits required by, ACA. Since January 1, 2014, ACA requires U.S. citizens, U.S. nationals and resident-aliens to obtain ACA compliant insurance coverage unless they are exempt from ACA (international students on F, J, M and Q visas (and certain family members of students) are not subject to the individual mandate for their first 5 years in the U.S. All other J categories - teacher, trainee, work and travel, au pair, high school, etc. - are not subject to the individual mandate for 2 years out of the past six). Penalties may be imposed on persons who are required to maintain ACA compliant coverage but do not do so. Eligibility to purchase or renew this product, or its terms and conditions, may be modified or amended based upon changes to applicable law, including ACA. Please note that it is solely your responsibility to determine if ACA is applicable to you and the Company and IMG shall have no liability whatsoever, including for any penalties that you may incur, for your failure to obtain required ACA compliant coverage. For information on whether ACA applies to you or whether you are eligible to purchase the Patriot Exchange Program, please contact us. The materials available on this website are for informational purposes only and not for the purpose of providing legal advice. You should contact your attorney to obtain advice with respect to any particular issue or problem. This brochure is intended to convey general information only and not to provide legal advice or opinions.
Certain treatment and supplies including hospital admission, inpatient or outpatient surgery, and other procedures as noted in the certificate wording must be precertified for medical necessity, which means the insured person or their attending physician must communicate with a representative at the number listed on the ID card prior to admission to a hospital before receiving certain treatments and supplies, or performance of a surgery. In case of an emergency admission, the precertification must be made within 48 hours of the admission, or as soon as reasonably possible. If a hospital admission or a surgery is not precertified, eligible claims and expenses will be reduced by 50 percent. It is important to note that precertification is only a determination of medical necessity, not an assurance of coverage, verification of benefits, or a guaranty of payment. All medical expenses eligible for reimbursement must be medically necessary and will be paid or reimbursed at usual, reasonable and customary rates. Please refer to the certificate wording for full details of the precertification requirements.
Note:You may begin the precertification process. You will be asked to provide the required information, which can then be submitted electronically. Once we have received all required information and medical records, our utilization management and review team will review the information provided and normally responds to the insured person or the provider within 2 business days. Please note that this online service will only initiate the process for treatment and supplies outlined in the contract, and it should not be used to request precertification for emergency admissions, procedures, or evacuations.
If a provider doesn’t submit a claim on your behalf, the fastest and most convenient way to submit a claim is through their online customer portal.
Claim forms can be accessed here and mailed to the address shown on the claim form. All contact numbers, claim forms and Certificate of Insurance are included in the fulfillment kit.
MyAccount provides service at your fingertips, giving you the information and tools to manage your plans anytime, anywhere, through easy-to-use technology. You’ll have immediate access to important resources online, including our service center team, plan document access, claim forms and much more.
