J2 Visa Insurance Forum

Hi,

I am looking for medical insurance coverage as a J-2 Visa that should start on August 1st and that can be cancellable with no fees before the starting date (since I am living abroad and do not know yet if borders will open by that date).
The insurance policy should include:

• maternity coverage
• repatriation
• medical evacuation
• must pay up to $10,000 for the expenses of travel if, because of a serious illness or injury she must be sent home on the advice of a doctor
• medical benefits of at least $50,000 for each accident or illness (i.e., the maximum set cannot be lower than $50,000)
• at least 75% of covered medical expenses.
• maximum deductible is $500 per accident or illness
• waiting period for coverage of pre-existing conditions less than one year
• must provide at least $7,500 in benefits to send remains to home country for burial
• Covid-19
• combinable with a state health insurance (Marketplace coverage, Medicaid, CHIP, for example)

Best regards,
Gina

Another option are plans offered by Global Underwriters. These plans are the Diplomat America (must buy for at least 15 days) or Diplomat LongTerm (must by for at least 90 days, but is renewable). Either plan can be refunded only if cancelled before the start date and will be subject to a $25 cancellation fee.

The J2 visa holders can find the ideal Covid visitor medical insurance plan by using the Covid19 US visitor medical compare insurance tool. They should provide relevant information such as the age, the duration of travel and other relevant details like the medical maximum coverage, the deductible and the need for Covid US tourist insurance coverage.
