Health insurance for nonimmigrants (F-1, J-1, etc)

Health insurance for nonimmigrants (F-1, J-1, etc)

When you are in the United States as a nonimmigrant it is important that you have health insurance since health care is costly in the United States. 

In fact, some visas such as F-1 and J-1 visas require you to have health care insurance. Generally, the school health insurance or J-1 sponsor health insurance will be one of the most costly options. 

For F-1 students, you must generally certify to the school that you have health insurance but are not required to purchase health insurance through them. It may be worthwhile to shop around if you are trying to save money. There are a number of sites such as ehealthinsurance.com where you can get heath insurance quotes. Coverage can vary from plan to plan so you will need to do some research to find a plan that suits your needs.
