Health Insurance for K-1 Visa. F-1 Visa, B1B2 Visa, J-1 Visa, and other nonimmigrant visitors visas

March 12, 2021

  • International and Travel

Having a Health Insurance while traveling is more important than ever. Especially when travelling to countries like USA, UK, and Canada where the cost of healthcare services is expensive and in most cases not calculated. Thus always be prepared to face the unforeseen by being certain you are covered.

Who needs an International Insurance in the USA?

F-1 Student visitors: Most colleges and universities in the USA ask for a proof of insurance certificate during the scholastic year. In some schools you are offered to purchase the insurance plan provided by the school. Either way, F-1 students in the USA need health insurance. Patriot America Plus from IMG is a perfect plan for F-1 students. See coverage below. 

– K-1 Fiancée Visa: If you are visiting the Untied States to on a K-1 Fiancée visa you are eligible for an international health insurance.  Even, if you are getting married soon to your Fiancée, you are not eligible for ACA coverage until you are a US Citizen or Permanent resident. Through the years we had many clients purchasing an international health plan while waiting for their Permanent Residency paperwork to be processed.

– B1/B2 Visa (Tourist Visa): If you are visiting the USA on a tourist nonimmigrant visa you can purchase health coverage during your visit in the USA for as many days you want. IMG also has the flexibility to retro pay you a prorated fee of all the unused days. For example: if you purchase a 3 months Patriot America Plus policy but end up staying only for 2 months in the USA. You can call IMG and cancel the policy for a prorated fee.
