Health Coverage for International Scholars
The UVA J Visa Health Plan is a self-insured plan designed just for J visa holders that meets the minimum requirements set by the U.S. Department of State, including medical evacuation and repatriation. These requirements can change with minimal notice, and offering a plan specifically for J visa holders allows UVA to alter the plan benefits quickly, if necessary.
Eligibility
Only those on J visas and their dependents are eligible for enrollment in the UVA J Visa Health Plan.
