Travelers & Students

 

Medical costs are extremely high in the U.S., it’s very risky to not have any medical insurance if you are traveling or studying in the U.S.

If you are travelers with B1/B2 visas, you may not qualify for U.S. resident health insurance plans, but you can purchase short term medical plans to meet your basic health insurance needs. Short-term medical plans or Travel medical plans usually have the following key exclusions that resident health insurance plans do not have:

  • Pre-existing conditions
  • Routine medical examinations and care (i.e. annual physical check-up, immunizations etc.)
  • Routine pre-natal, pregnancy, child birth, and post-natal care
  • Medical expenses for injury or illness resulting from participation in some sports
  • Medical expenses related to any form of cancer or neoplasm
  • Mental health disorders

Also, travel plans are usually cheaper than a full price resident health plan, but they have annual maximum limits while resident health insurance plans have none.

If you are students with F1/F2/J1 visas, you may qualify for resident health insurance, but you can’t get government subsidies and the cost is much higher than just buying regular student health plans. If you just need to satisfy the school requirements, a cheaper student plan should just do the job.
