Yes. If you need general health and accident insurance coverage, you can purchase the CICD provided health insurance plan. This plan insures for:

  • Up to 100,000 U.S. dollars of regular and customary medical expenses per accident or sickness
  • Up to 50,000 U.S. dollars in case of medical evacuation
  • Up to 25,000 U.S. dollars in case of repatriation of remains
  • A deductible of 100 U.S. dollars per accident or sickness and 250 U.S. dollars per Emergency Room Visit

CICD recommends that you purchase health insurance for the period you spend in the U.S. before your J-1 training begins as well as for the “Grace period” (the 30-day time period which you may spend in the U.S. after you have completed your J-1 training program. Please contact CICD directly about insurance coverage for dependents.
