The exact cost for international student health insurance in the US depends on a variety of factors including your length of stay, whether or not you are covering any F2 dependents, and the specific plan you choose.
The health insurance requirements for international students depend on the school you will be attending. Each college or university will state their insurance requirements for international students. Be sure to purchase a student insurance plan that meets each off them.
All J-1 and J-2 visa holders are required to have insurance coverage that meets the minimum standards set by the US Department of State. The J1 insurance plans we offer meet all State Department requirements.
OPT health insurance is medical insurance specifically for international students taking part in Optional Practical Training, or OPT, a program that allows international graduates to remain in the US for up to 36 months in order to gain relevant work experience in their field of study.
