Q:I will spend 6 weeks as a visiting student at the California Institute of Technology (Caltech) in Pasadena, CA. I need to buy a health insurance that fits Caltech requirements, which I attach to this email. Does your company provide such an insurance plan? If it does, how much does it cost?

A:
We have reviewed the requirements on the waiver form. We do not have any plans that will meet those requirements. The waiver requirements can only be met through domestic insurance. If the sponsor is offering you insurance, that would be domestic coverage and is the only place we are aware of you could obtain the coverage.
