Hi,
I’m looking for maternity for my wife.
Thank you,
Madhur
Dear Madhur,
Thank you for contacting us at American Visitor Insurance for your F2 visa student health insurance needs!.
Students and scholars on F or J visas have the best coverage for maternity coverage. However, the benefits have been reduced a few years ago such that the best coverage is 80% coverage of costs, so please be aware that you will be responsible for a portion of all costs. Also note that unless your wife is the J1 visa holder YOU will have to be the primary on the policy and she (with J2) will be secondary. Also note that prices are DIFFERENT for the primary and the spouse, so when you quote the prices, quote them for two people at the same time since the cost will be MUCH HIGHER for your wife's coverage.
There are five policies that cover maternity at an 80% coverage without a set limit on benefits. I will list them in order of their approximate cost. Note that conception has to occur after the start of the plan and most plans ask that you let them know at least three months before your delivery date.
Study USA Pref 300 and Pref 500 both cover maternity at a 80/70% (in network/out of network). Conception has to occur after the start of this plan. This plan will be about $133 for the Elite plan.To get details for Study USA, , please visit the below links
Liaison Student plans Choice and Plus have a $10k limit on maternity benefits at 80/60 coverage respectively. The Choice plan will cost about $151 per month.To view all information on the insurance, please visit the below links:
Student Secure Secure Elite, Select and Budget plans also cover at 80/70% to the maximum of the plan. The Select plan can be purchased with a $300k maximum, Budget plan can be purchased with a $250k maximum and the Elite can be purchased with $500k.The Elite plan will cost $375 per month, Select about $220 and Budget about $95.To view all information on the insurance, use below links:
Student Health Advantage Platinum has a $5000 maximum limit to maternity and newborn care coverage. It has a $1 million maximum and a $35 deductible and covers at 80/60%. The plan also covers pre-existing conditions with a 6 month waiting period. This plan will cost about $314 per month.We are an agency and we work with 8 different insurance companies to give our clients as great a variety of plans as we can to get the coverage they need. Do let us know if we can assist you any further.

! I’m an international student and I’m looking for insurance plans for my husband and daughter who both hold F2 Visa. The insurance plan must cover the following: Medical benefits of at least USD 100000 per accident or illness; remains repatriation coverage of at least USD 25000 per person covered, coverage for expenses associated with medical evacuation to the international student’s home country of at least 50,000 per person covered; and Deductibles that do not exceed 500 per accident or illness. Could you please let me know if there’s anything I can further pursue?
Thank you,Thank you for contacting us at American Visitor Insurance for your F2 visa student health insurance needs!.
The Patriot Exchange plan is a very economical plan that can be used to meet F2 visa requirements and for international students. The plan can be purchased for the F2 visa holder as long as the F1 visa holder already has coverage from their institution. The deductible can be $500 or less with no further costs for the insured (most plans have coinsurance which still must be paid after the deductible). Also, if the institution has a health center, you can pay only a $5 copay for each visit for additional benefit and savings. You can purchase this plan with a sports rider to cover such activities such as downhill skiing. All these benefits make it a popular and excellent choice. This is the only student plan available for F2 while F1 is already on a plan. To get details for Patriot Exchange (including brochure, PPO, claims information) and to get a free quote and/or buy Patriot Exchange insurance, please visit the below link:
Please let us know if you have any further questions or concerns. We would be happy to assist you! The F2 visa holders are also eligible to purchase the visitor insurance plans.

I am looking for a Health Insurance for my wife, Aycan.
I am F1 Student visa holder, working for a construction company and have insurance from my company. My wife is holding F2 visa and planning to get pregnant in a year; she doesn't have SSN. After my online research, I found Patriot Exchange insurance which is for F2 visa holders and covers maternity. Can you please give me information about health insurance plans and prices?
Thank you,Thank you for contacting us at American Visitor Insurance for your F2 visa insurance needs!. The Patriot Exchange student insurance plan is available for F2 Visa holder alone in case the F1 Visa holder is already having health insurance. This is the only student insurance plan that is available for F2 visa holders, the other student plans are not available for F2 visa holders without the F1 visa holder also being on the same plan. However, the Patriot Exchange plan does not provide coverage for Maternity and Pregnancy.
Here you can find the visitor insurance plans that are suitable for F2 Visa holders but again they DO NOT cover maternity and pregnancy: Know More »
Here are the student insurance plans that cover maternity but they need the F1 to be on the plan: Know More »

Regards,Hello,
I'm interested in F2 Medical insurance Atlas Premium America Plan. What does it mean by "up to $15 copy" in the outpatient benefit for doctor office visits?
Could you give an example? How much is the maximum coverage for doctor visits?
Thank you,Thank you for contacting us at American Visitor Insurance for your F2 visa insurance needs!.
Copay is the amount that you pay for each doctor visit. If you have chosen the plan with a $0 deductible, then you need not pay the copay.
The maximum coverage that the plan will provide will be not more than what you have selected as policy maximum on your plan.
Let's say you have bought a plan with $50 deductible and a policy maximum of $50,000.
When you visit a doctor for some illness and let's say you incur a cost of $500 for the medicine and the check up. For the first time visit and medical expense you incur, you will be paying the $50 deductible and then you will pay $15 as co pay. The insurance company will be paying $435.
This plan says that the insurance company will pay 100% of co-insurance.
So, you do not have to worry about that.
Please let us know if you need anything furtherHello,
I am a Harvard Law School student with F-1 visa. I am looking for an insurance for my wife with a dependent visa F-2.
I have several questions as below.
1. Would there be any insurance that covers pregnancy for my wife?
2. Although my wife is not yet pregnant right now, would it be possible to purchase the insurance even after she is pregnant?
3. Is it possible to only purchase the insurance for one or two month? Or is there any minimum period to purchase the insurance?
I would appreciate if you could recommend any insurance that could cover pregnancy for a short period including the rate information.
Thank you,
Sungmin

Hi,
I am F2 visa holder and 6 weeks pregnant. I'll be joining my husband in USA in last week of October, 2016. I want to know about the insurance coverage i can avail for my whole pregnancy period and post pregnancy. Please advise appropriate coverage plan.
Thanks,Thank you for contacting us at American Visitor Insurance for your F2 visa insurance needs!. Since health insurance is for the unexpected, no policy will cover the delivery and wellness visits of a current pregnancy. However, we have one option that covers "complications of pregnancy" in the first 26 weeks of gestation.
Clearly, this is insurance that we hope you would not need, but should there be some problem or a premature birth event, you would be covered. Furthermore, the policy has many excellent benefits and will take care of you in case of any sudden illness or accident.
The plan is called Atlas America and can be purchased on line for guaranteed coverage. It also covers "acute onset" of pre-existing conditions. Children under 10 years of age are "free" with a paying adult on the policy.
Immediately after your purchase, you will get a confirmation email with an ID card that you can print out and should carry with you since it has all the information needed to access your insurance should you need to.

Regards,Hi,
I am 26 from China. Currently I am a F2 visa holder in US. I want to know more about the health insurance that fits me. It is better if the health insurance can cover the maternity just in case of pregnancy. I looked other QA and confused about this sentence 'These provide major medical coverage but they have a 10 month (for partial coverage) or 12 month waiting period.' Could you explain what is the waiting period.
Regards,The waiting period means that you cannot get pregnant before 10 months or 12 months are over. If want sooner coverage, as a student I suggest any of the following policies:
These all cover pregnancy as long as conception occurs after the start of the policy. You can read the brochure for details.

Hi,
I'm buying insurance for my wife. I'm already covered under my university insurance. I'm just looking for an insurance for her.
Thanks,Thank you for contacting us at American Visitor Insurance for your F2 visa insurance needs!.
The Patriot Exchange insurance plan is offered by International Medical Group (IMG) and provides comprehensive insurance for international students (F1 visa) and J1 visa scholars in the USA. This plan is suitable for F2 Visa holders. If there is a health center available, the insured only pays a $5 copay instead of the $100 deductible. This and many other benefits make it a very economical and excellent choice for J visa holders.
The details of the plans are available on our site at the below link:
Please let us know if we can help you in any further. Regards,US citizens are eligible to purchase health insurance plans through their state's health insurance marketplace. Non-US citizens can purchase visitor insurance plans. Those foreign students on the F or J visas qualify specifically for "student" health insurance plans which are often cheaper than visitor insurance. Students can compare student medical insurance plans and make an informed choice.
Most colleges offer group health insurance for their students. This may be required if the student does not have any other insurance. Check with your institution as to what is available. However the student insurance plans that are offered in American Visitor Insurance are usually cheaper than University insurance while offering similar coverage. Students can compare the coverage of the University insurance along with the plans on this website and make an informed decision.
The health insurance cost for the college student will depend on the coverage benefits of the student insurance plan, the age of the student, the medical maximum coverage required and the deductible for the plan. The cost of student health insurance coverage within the US is more expensive when compared to coverage outside the US.
Review and compare the best F2 visa medical insurance.
Despite the spread of the BA.5 Omicron sub-variant, all international students with the F1 and J1 visa's are now allowed in the US. International students should however check the university updates and the covid19 requirements before travelling to US.
Unfortunately, even years after the pandemic started in China, Covid is again making a comeback with new immune-evasive variants. The Covid situation is made even more complicated in the US with influenza and the respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) which spreading earlier and faster than usual. International students should buy the best student travel insurance with covid-19 coverage. In case one contacts covid19 infections the illness will be covered and this includes the new sub-variants. Regardless of the variant a covid cover will provide students with coverage for the Covid infection.
There are many international students in the US either without proper US student medical insurance, or with F1 student insurance that does not cover Covid19. Given the health risk involved due to the Covid19 pandemic, it is very important for students to buy good Student medical insurance which includes coverage for Covid19. A Covid-19 coverage will offer protection towards the coronavirus illness just like any other illness under the benefits of the policy regardless of the variant. At American Visitor Insurance, we offer several international student health insurance with Covid19 coverage. The Covid-19 cover provides coverage just like any other illness irrespective of the variant.
Earlier international students in the US had to buy affordable care act, ACA (Obamacare) compliant medical insurance, however recent changes have removed this requirement. International students can now buy student health insurance plans offered on our website without violating US government requirements. These are some international student health insurance plans with Covid19 coverage. Students while studying in the US need not worry about getting coverage for mutated variants. Irrespective of the variant covid-19 cover will provide students with the coverage if contracted the illness.
There are some F1 visa students still stranded in the USA or on the OPT status who are not enrolled in any classes. In this situation students are not limited to buying US student health insurance and can buy short term US visitors medical insurance. The visitors health insurance plans are cheaper and work well for international students while they are not enrolled in classes. International students can review US visitors medical insurance plans that fit your needs.
