Travel Health Insurance
As you arrange your travel to U.S.A. we advise you to review your health coverage. Your current health coverage may not cover you during your travels outside your own country. Care in the U.S. health system is expensive, even simple procedures can be costly. In case of an unforseen medical condition, injury, or accident that may occur while traveling, it is best for you to understand your current coverage information, and if it is not sufficient, you may want to purchase a comprehensive travel insurance policy. While medical insurance for B visitors to the U.S. is not mandatory, it is highly advisable. There are both B-1/B-2 visa health insurance plans available.
