Foreign Students Traveling to America

Patriot Travel

Provides coverage for individuals, families and groups who need temporary medical insurance while traveling for business or pleasure anywhere outside of your home country.

International travel can quickly turn into a frightening situation if you’re not prepared for a medical emergency. Most travelers assume they will be covered by their standard medical plan, but that isn’t the case. While traditional plans may offer adequate domestic coverage, they are not designed for international travel. Without even realizing it, you may be putting your health at risk.

Don’t let your medical coverage be an uncertainty. Travel with one of IMG’s two Patriot Travel Medical Insurance® plans so you can spend more time enjoying your international experience and less time worrying about medical coverage. Patriot International® provides coverage while traveling outside your home country where the destination excludes the United States or its territories (limited coverage for brief returns to the United States or its territories). Patriot America® provides coverage while traveling outside your home country where the destination includes the United States or its territories.

Patriot Exchange

Designed for individuals and groups of five or more students studying abroad or participants of cultural exchange programs. Most plan options are designed to meet the U.S. J1 and J2 visa travel insurance requirements.

Whether your trip takes you abroad for a few weeks or a year, your cultural exchange experience should be enjoyable. You have enough to worry about when you’re traveling. Don’t let your medical coverage be an uncertainty. IMG has developed Patriot Exchange Program to offer a complete package of international benefits available 24 hours a day. Most of the plan options are designed to meet the U.S. visa travel insurance requirements for a student studying abroad or a participant of cultural exchange.

The individual and group plans provide coverage for dependents and may be purchased in monthly increments. You can choose from a range of plan maximums and additional add-on coverages. You may also seek treatment with the hospital or doctor of your choice. When seeking treatment in the U.S., you have access to the independent Preferred Provider Organization (PPO), a separately organized network of hundreds of thousands of established, highly qualified health care physicians and many well-recognized hospitals in the U.S. contracted by IMG. You can quickly search the network through MyIMG.

To help you locate health care providers outside the U.S., IMG provides its online International Provider AccessSM (IPA), a database of over 17,000 providers.

Patriot Extreme

Patriot Extreme is designed for the adventurous International traveler. Patriot Extreme provides benefits for those traveling abroad who also intend to participate in a select group of athletic activities or extreme sports.
