Current US regulations require all individuals having J-1 or J-2 status to carry health insurance meeting certain minimum levels, including:
- Medical benefits - $50,000 per accident or illness
- Repatriation - $7,500
- Medical Evacuation - $10,000
- Deductibles not to exceed $500 per accident or illness
If your sponsor does not provide insurance which meets these levels, you will be required to purchase Rensselaer's insurance policy, which does meet these requirements. Failure to maintain adequate medical insurance for yourself and/or your dependents while in the US will cause your program to be immediately terminated.
