U.S. federal regulations require J-1 students and dependents to buy health
insurance. (It is strongly recommended that F-1 students and dependents also
buy health insurance.) According to current regulations, J-1 students and their
J-2 dependents must buy health insurance that provides:
-
Medical benefits of at least $50,000 for each accident or illness
-
A deductible of $500 or less for each accident or illness
-
Benefits for medical evacuation of at least $10,000
-
Benefits for repatriation of remains of at least $7,500
In order to participate in a J-1 Exchange Visitor Program, students and
dependent family members must continue this healthcare coverage throughout
their stay in the U.S.
