As you are adjusting your insurance dates, please remember the following:
-You are only eligible to stay in the US for up to 30 days past your last day of work at camp (your contract dates are listed on the DS-2019 form). You will be in violation of your program if you remain in the US longer than 30 days after camp. As a result, insurance will not be issued beyond 30 days after your last day of work.
-If your insurance coverage exceeds 4 months (123 days), you will be required to pay for an extra month of insurance beyond 4 months. There is an extra fee for this. If you select dates that are longer than 4 months, you will be invoiced directly for this extra insurance time. Please note, your new insurance dates will not be confirmed until this invoice is paid! If the invoice is NOT paid and your insurance is NOT confirmed, IENA reserves the right to withdraw your program, due to lack of adequate insurance coverage.
All exchange visitors must be covered by the IENA medical insurance for the entire duration of your stay in the US. This is a Department of State requirement for the BridgeUSA program. This is not just your camp work dates, but must start with the date you arrive in the US, until the date you depart the US. Therefore, once you book your flights to camp, you must login to your Secutive account and adjust your insurance dates of coverage to match your flight dates.
The cost of health insurance and medical visits differs around the world, and unfortunately in the US, healthcare is very expensive.
We cannot stress enough how important it is to extend your insurance coverage for the entirety of your stay in the US, or you may be in violation of your program and personally liable for full medical costs if you are not insure
