New Jersey City University

New Jersey City University recommends all international students purchase medical insurance to cover them while in the U.S. Both the Student Secure and the Student Health Advantage plans are excellent insurance plan options designed for students with coverage including things like mental health, maternity, and sports depending on the plan level you choose.

Important: If you participate in school sports please make sure to purchase the Student Health Advantage plan or select the Sports Add-On rider on the Student Secure plan at the moment of the purchase.

J-1 students and scholars need to purchase a plan that meets the following requirements:

  • Coverage must be at least $100,000 per accident or illness;
  • Repatriation of remains in the amount of $25,000;
  • Medical evacuation coverage in the amount of $50,000; and
  • Deductibles not to exceed $500 per accident or illness.
  • Zero coinsurance for in-network providers

The Patriot Exchange plan and the Patriot Travel plan meet and exceed these requirements.

Students can opt for:

Student Secure
Offering same day coverage, this international health insurance plan includes coverage for hospitalization, doctors visits, mental health, maternity, pre-existing conditions and much more.
Student Health Advantage
Similar to the Student Secure, the Student Health Advantage plan provides comprehensive coverage including 100% coverage if treatment is sought in the UnitedHealthcare Network.
