Most campuses have Visiting Scholars or Visiting Academics, spending anywhere from one month to more than a year, contributing to the host campus' intellectual and research endeavors. While the Visiting Scholar is in the United States, they must maintain a minimum amount of medical insurance to satisfy the J1 Visa requirement. Though many Visiting Scholars do bring sufficient medical insurance coverage for their stay from their home country, many do not, and consequently are required to purchase insurance for themselves and their family members.GPA offers Visiting Scholar benefit plans at competitive pricing. Domestic Scholars may participate in these plans as well. Please contact Steve Johnson at GPA for further information at 1-877-559-9922 ext. 403.
