Q:My son was born in the USA but has been a UK resident for the past 34 years(most of his life, as he is now 37). He will be making a long visit of three or four months to family friends later this month, and we want to check he would be eligible for one of your policies to cover him for health and emergency dental while out of this country. I can confirm he is a UK citizen and permanent resident, but just want to check the fact of his US birth, which also gives him US citizenship, does not make him ineligible for a policy. Many thanks, and if eligible, could you please provide quotes for three months insurance starting June 20 with a $100 excess(co-pay), and advise whether OK to purchase this from the UK and extend for a month in September if necessary?

Q:I need a plan with the following coverage: Could you help me choose the best option? MAINTAINING INSURANCE COVERAGE Health insurance coverage is required for all J-1 exchange visitors and their dependents. For general information about health insurance, please click here. The U.S. Department of State has established minimum requirements for insurance coverage in order to protect J-1 participants and their family members in case of illness or accident. These requirements include: - Maximum coverage for medical benefits cannot be less than $ 100,000 per accident or illness. - If you should die in the United States, your insurance must provide at least $25,000 to send your remains to your home country. This is called "repatriation of remains." - If, because of serious illness or injury, you must be sent home on the advice of a doctor, the insurance must pay up to $50,000 for the expenses of your travel. This is called "medical evacuation." - The deductible cannot be more than $500 per accident or illness. This is the amount you would have to pay before the insurance company pays anything. Many policies have a much lower deductible, which is good for you. - The insurance must pay at least 75% of covered medical expenses. After you have paid the deductible, an insurance policy usually only pays a percentage of your medical expenses and you pay the rest. The percentage you pay is called co-insurance or a co-payment. - The policy may establish a waiting period before it covers pre-existing conditions (health problems you had before you bought the insurance), as long as the waiting period is reasonable by current standards in the insurance industry. - The policy must be backed by the full faith and credit of your home country government or the company providing the insurance must meet minimum rating requirements established by the State Department (an A.M. best rating of A- or above, and Insurance Solvency International Ltd. (ISI) rating of A- or above, a Standard and Poor's Claims-paying ability rating of A- or above, or a Weiss Research, Inc. rating of B+ or above). - Most insurance policies exclude coverage for certain conditions. The J-1 regulations require that if a particular activity is a part of your exchange visitor program, your insurance must cover injuries resulting from your participation in that activity. All J-1 visitors will need to show that they have obtained insurance coverage before starting their program, and again before making certain changes to their program (adding dependents, travel, or program extension).

A:
Those are standard requirements so you can choose any plan in the J1 section of our website for time here in the United States as a J1 visa holder. You can take a look at the ExchangeGuard Plans.
