If you are an individual, family, or group of less than 5 persons visiting the U.S., you can purchase a visitors insurance plan. Many additional choices are not available on a group basis. An individual person either can enroll into the same plan or can choose a different insurance plan. Individual people can also choose a different policy maximum, deductible, and purchase for a different duration.
If a person, family, or group smaller than 5 persons is traveling outside the U.S. and outside their home country, they can purchase a travel medical insurance plan from a wide variety of options. Each person has the flexibility of choosing a different plan, policy maximum, deductible, and a different duration. If you are a group of less than 5 people that want flexibility, it is the best to purchase individual travel medical insurance.
If you are group of 5 or more J1 visa holders, you can purchase J1 visa group medical insurance that fully meets the J1 visa insurance requirements set by the U.S. Department of State. It provides the same coverage as the individual medical insurance, but it is cheaper. Each person can still get a separate confirmation of coverage letter and/or a separate waiver form signed by the insurance company.
This insurance is very helpful for employers when the majority of their employees reside outside the U.S. and they want long term group medical insurance plans.
