Our members also have access to the UnitedHealthcare Options network which provides access to the broadest top tier national network in the US.  If you use the UnitedHealthcare Options network providers, you will be eligible for simplified claims processing.  For many claims, the provider will submit the claim, and no member claims forms will be required.

Our lowest cost plan is the Plan S with $100,000 benefit per illness or injury and a $500 annual deductible.  Prices start at $34 per month for our group plan.  Group plans require 5 or more members.

Our plan pricing is the same for J1, J2, F1, F2.  If the J1 or F1 already has insurance, the F2 or J2 can purchase alone.

Monthly and daily rates are available. So, if your stay in the US is 2 1/2 months you pay for 2 1/2 months of coverage not 3 months.

You can choose any of the benefit levels ($100,000, $250,000 or $500,000) and any of the deductible levels ($100 per illness, $0 annual, $250 annual, or $500 annual).  Click this link to learn more or see pricing on other options:

    is the AXA a valid insurace for the j1 visa?


    1. // Reply

      Hi,

      Thanks for your interest!
      I’m going to need some more information before I can answer your question. AXA offers a lot of different insurance plans. If you’d like to send me a summary of the coverage I can probably help you. Also, it’s important to know who your visa sponsor is. Some sponsors have coverage requirements like the US Department of State. Some require more coverage.

      You can send me information as a response here, or I will also send you an email and you can respond directly to that.

      We will be pleased to assist you!

    After 8 months of stay in the US my J2 dependent decided to have a vacation for 3 months outside the US. Does he still need to continue his insurance during the time that his outside the US?


    1. // Reply

      Hi,

      Your J2 can choose to continue their coverage during their vacation outside the US. So long as they are traveling to a country that is not their home country, the insurance would still cover them.

      Some J visa sponsors will require them to keep their J visa insurance active for the entire time of their DS-2019 even if they leave the country.

      If neither of those situations apply, they could let their coverage lapse and buy a new plan when they return to the US.

      The plans will cover you for illness or injury (not the pregnancy) and will meet the insurance requirements of the J visa.

      Thanks for your question. Our plans for J-2 visa holders are here: http://www.j1insurance.net/blog/buy-j2-visa-insurance/

      These plans cover illness and injury. They don’t cover wellness care or immunizations. Plans that cover wellness benefits and immunizations generally cost $200-$300 per month or more. Many people find they can pay for these benefits themselves and still end out paying less in total.

      Hi,

      If you want coverage from the date you arrive in the US you need to purchase before you travel here. Your visa requires you to have coverage for your whole stay in the US. Some visa sponsors will require that you prove you had coverage from your arrival date forward.

      If you are already in the US, you are still eligible to purchase our plans with an effective date as early as the day after you apply.

    Hi, I’ll be travelling to Georgia Institute of Technology, Atlanta, Georgia for a six month internship on a J1 Visa from June 2019 to December 2019. Could you please help me decide on an approved health insurance that I can purchase at the earliest ?


    1. // Reply

      Georgia Institute Of Technology (georgia Tech) required J1 scholar insurance (not enrolled students) is as follows: 1. Medical benefits of $100,000 per accident or illness; 2. Repatriation of remains of $25,000; 3. Medical evacuation of $50,000; 4. Deductible not over $500 per accident or illness. These requirements are the same as the USDOS standards. TaiAn Plan B with $100,000 benefit per illness or injury and four deductible options is the most popular plan that meets the requirements. TaiAn Plan S with $100,000 benefit per illness or injury and $500 deductible option is the lowest cost plan that meets the requirements. You can also choose Taian Plan B or Plan S with a higher benefit or Taian Plan A if you need more benefits than your school requires.

    Hi!

    I will join the University of Arizona for one year as a J1 Research Scholar and my wife will accompany me as a J2 visa holder. My program start date is January 15th, 2021. I have the following queries-
    (1) Which insurance plan will be applicable for both of us and how much will be the cost per month?
    (1) The program start date is January 15th, 2021 and we may arrive on January 10th. If we buy the insurance before we enter into the US, does this plan will also cover the travelling into the US or we have to buy separate travel insurance?

      3. Medical Evacuation in the amount of $50,000

      5. Covers pre-existing conditions after a reasonable waiting period
      6. Includes provision for co-payment that does not exceed 25% co-pay by the Exchange Visitor

      Our TaiAn Plan B with a $100,000 benefit per illness or injury is the most popular plan that meets these requirements. Plan S with a $100,000 benefit per illness or injury is the least expensive plan that meets these requirements. All deductible options for both plans meet these requirements.

      After you have successfully submitted your application online, you will receive an Email from IMG (If you do not receive it within a few minutes, please check your spam). This email will contain your insurance ID card and your confirmation letter (Visa Letter). You can send the confirmation letter to your school as proof that you have acquired medical insurance that meets all their requirements.

      If you are going to arrive on January 10, 2021 you should purchase with an effective date of January 10, 2021. That way you would have continuous coverage from when you arrive. If you need to purchase more than a year of coverage because of the extra days, you can extend your policy after you purchase.

      Please let me know if you have more questions. Thank you!

    I will apply as “J-1 Exchange Visitor” along with my family to the Hospital for Special Surgery for 1 year (starts this May 1st, 2022 and ends April 29th, 2023
    Dependents:
    Holder, age 36, J-1
    Wife, age 32 , J-2
    Child, age 6 months, J-2
    I need the insurance that cover for maternity plan
    I appreciate if you would send me a quote.

      Thanks for your question. We are glad to help.

      Maternity coverage for a J-2 visa holder is hard to find and very expensive. Also, it will only cover a pregnancy if you become pregnant after the plan is effective. If your wife is pregnant before the plan is effective, then I have no plans that will cover the maternity.

      For the maternity, you can purchase IMG Student Health Advantage Platinum for you and your wife. You can purchase less expensive coverage for your 6 month old child. You can see details of the plan here: https://www.j1insurance.net/blog/student-health-advantage/ This plan will cost $2,185 per month of coverage. It also has a limit of $5,000 of maternity coverage. Most people find the maternity coverage for a J-2 visa holder to be too high, and choose not to have the maternity covered by insurance.

      If you decide to purchase coverage without maternity here’s what I suggest:

      The most economical way to purchase the insurance for your family of 3 is to buy two insurance plans separately:

      The first application for one adult and the child (6 months old ) to buy the individual plan together. Since your child is under 10, you can get one child insurance free.

      The second application for the other adult is the Taian Group plan with 10% off.

      Purchase Method – Two Applications

      1. The purchase instruction for the first application:

      One adult from your family (either you or your wife) will purchase with your child (6 months old). The adult is the primary insured in this plan and the child is the dependent. For each adult insured there is no cost for a dependent child under 10. Children free is only available on Individual plans, not group plans. Please click “ADD DEPENDENT(S)” while you’re filling out the form to add your child(ren) who is traveling with you. Please follow the instructions below to buy Plan B or Plan S. For this plan.

      1) Click on this link to compare plans: https://www.j1insurance.net/blog/buy-j1-visa-insurance/
      2) Read Plan B or Plan S benefit summary
      3) To purchase, you can follow these links directly:

      Plan B: https://purchase.imglobal.com/Quote/TAIAN_PATRIOT_EXCHANGE/pre-quote?imgac=80000699&exclude=50000&uservar=j1blog
      Plan S: https://purchase.imglobal.com/Quote/taian_select/pre-quote?imgac=80000699&exclude=50000&uservar=j1blog

      4) On the first page of the application, please click “ADD DEPENDENT(S)” to add your child (7)
      5) Select your deductible type. All deductible options meet USDOS standards. On the price chart, make sure you select a Maximum Limit of at least $100,000 in order to meet USDOS standards. For example, for Plan B with a $100,000 per illness/injury benefit and a $250 annual deductible (our most popular plan), the cost is $65.52/month for someone between the ages of 25 and 49. For Plan S with a $100,000 per illness/injury benefit and a $500 annual deductible (our least expensive option), the cost is $49.74/month for someone between the ages of 25 and 49.
      6) For Fulfillment Method, you can select to receive fulfillment by either email or mail if you are in the US. If you are not in the U.S., please select to receive fulfillment via email.

      After you have successfully submitted your application online, you will receive an Email from IMG in a few minutes. This email will contain your insurance ID card and your confirmation letter (Visa Letter). You can send the confirmation letter to your school as proof that you have acquired medical insurance that meets all their requirements.

      2. The purchase instruction for the second application:

      The rest of your family members (one adult) will purchase Taian Special group plan separately. Taian Special Group provides the same insurance coverage as individual plans with a 10% discount on premiums.

      Plan B with $0 deductible is the plan with the best benefits.
      Plan B with $250 deductible is the most popular plan.
      Plan S with $500 deductible is the lowest price plan.

    Hi!
    I am applying for J1 visa as an exchange student of NC state University. I am already insured by my current university so want to get a plan for my family;
    Wife, age 22
    Two children under ager 2.

    Can you please suggest me some suitable plans?

      Hi,

      All of our Student & Scholar Plans meet the J visa insurance requirements of the US Department of State. TaiAn Plan B with a $100,000 benefit per illness or injury and a $250 annual deductible is the most popular plan that meets these requirements. Plan S with a $100,000 benefit per illness or injury and a $500 annual deductible is the least expensive plan that meets these requirements. The biggest difference between Plan B and Plan S is that Plan B has no coinsurance (insurance will pay 100% of eligible expenses after the insured pays the deductible) while Plan S has 20% coinsurance in UnitedHealthcare Options Network or 30% coinsurance out of Network.

      For Plan B with $100,000 benefit per illness or injury and a $250 annual deductible, it will cost $65.52/month for someone between the ages of 25-49. For Plan S with $100,000 benefit per illness or injury and a $500 annual deductible, it will cost $49.74/month for someone between the ages of 25-49.

      For each adult insured there is no cost for a dependent child under 10. Children free is only available on Individual plans, not group plans. Please click “ADD DEPENDENT(S)” while you’re filling out the form to add your child(ren) who is traveling with you. Since you already have coverage, you would list your wife (J2 visa) as the Primary insured, then add your children as dependents.

      You can read the plan details and make your payment on our partner Taian’s website:

      Dear Alvin,

      All Taian Student & Scholar Plans meet the J visa insurance requirements of the US Department of State. Please check your email for visa letter sample. You can provide the one you get after your purchase to show your sponsor you have the required coverage.

      The best deal is TaiAn special group with a 10% discount.

      Taian Special Group provides insurance for international students and scholars with a 10% discount on premiums compared to individual policies. All Taian Special Group Plans meet the J visa insurance requirements of your school and the US Department of State. Taian Plan B Group is the most popular group plan. You can choose TaiAn plan B, with a $0 Deductible with 10% off so that you have no deductible to pay if you have claims, or you can choose TaiAn plan B, $250 deductible with 10% off to save some more premium costs.

      The plan covers the new illness or injury that happens after the plan becomes effective.

      Plan B with $0 deductible is the plan with the best benefits.
      Plan B with $250 deductible is the most popular plan.
      Plan S with $500 deductible is the lowest-price plan.

      Please see all plan options at the link below:

      You can register and make your payment on this website: https://www.taianfinancial.com/applications/taian-group

      All of the plans available on that web page meet all of your insurance requirements.

      For this plan each person will register and pay separately. There is a $5 registration fee for each purchase or renewal. So it’s better to purchase the whole period instead of renewing every month.

      For the most popular plan B-250, the total premium for 18 months for both ( one adult one 10 year old) will be: (58.97*18+5 )+(43.97*18+5)= 1,862.92.
      For the cheapest plan S-500, the total premium for 18 months for both (one adult one 10 year old) will be (44.77*18+5)+(36.97*18+5)= 1,481.32

      The Plan B is more expensive because it has a lower deductible, and no coinsurance. The lower deductible means the plan will start paying medical expenses after your first $250 of medical cost. The lower coinsurance means after the deductible the plan B will cover 100% of covered expenses, plan S will still leave you responsible for 25% of covered medical expenses.

      If you have questions please email us or call us on our English customer service line at 1-317-318-8259 (English). Our service hours are 8am to 6pm (US Eastern Standard Time), 7 days a week.
