International Students need Medical Insurance to realize U.S. Study and Intern Opportunities
The United States is a land of opportunity for international students. The residency and intern, post-graduate, industrial and business study opportunities present in the United States for international students are unrivaled and any opportunity to enter an exchange program or travel to the U.S. for studies or intern work should be taken. But before you pack your books and hop on the next plane, you’ve got to get your J-1 Exchange Visitor Visa.
In order to qualify for a J-1 Exchange Visitor Visa to study in the United States, you don’t just need to be a student on a certain study track; you need to have some medical coverage protecting your health while you are away from home. With the Patriot America travel health insurance coverage offered by New York International Group, you can expect your coverage to include:
- Medical expenses
- Hospital Room and Board
- Emergency medical evacuation
- Emergency room care
- Repatriation of Remains
The Patriot America plan is customizable with a range of deductibles to choose from*. These deductibles allow you to create an affordable plan that offers you the coverage you need to feel secure while you focus on your studies in the United States.
*Please see your J-1 Exchange Visitor Visa requirements to ensure you choose deductibles and coverage maximums that are compliant with requirements.
