Traveling the world opens doors to incredible experiences, but it also comes with inherent risks. Unexpected medical emergencies can happen anywhere, and the costs associated with them, especially in remote locations, can be astronomical. That’s where emergency medical evacuation and repatriation of remains insurance comes in.
What is Emergency Medical Evacuation and Repatriation of Remains Insurance?
This type of insurance provides financial protection in case you require medical evacuation to a better-equipped facility or to your home country to get treatment or need your remains repatriated to your home country in the unfortunate event of your passing abroad.
The U.S. Department of State mandates that all J-visa holders have health insurance that includes emergency medical evacuation coverage of at least $50,000 and repatriation of remains coverage of at least $25,000. This ensures that J-visa holders can access necessary medical care and have their remains returned home in a dignified manner.
Get Covered with ISI:
Our Student Secure plan, in addition to healthcare benefits in the case of an illness or accident, offers robust evacuation and repatriation coverage, fully conforming to J visa regulations.
If you have health insurance elsewhere and would like to have complementary evacuation and repatriation coverage to bolster your peace of mind or to comply with the J visa requirements, our Medical Evacuation plan is a great option. It is also ideal for international students on an ACA compliant plan that does not have these benefits included. The plan can be purchased for 3, 6 or 12 months.
