Special note for postdoctoral fellows and research fellows in J-1 Exchange Visitor Status

In addition to the medical benefits provided by the Cleveland Clinic Foundation, all J-1 Exchange Visitors are required to obtain insurance to cover the following:

  • In the event of death: repatriation of remains insurance in the amount of $7,500
  • In the event of illness: expenses associated with the medical evacuation of the exchange visitor to his or her home country in the amount of $10,000.
You will be required to prove that you have obtained this insurance once you arrive at the Cleveland Clinic. If you do not have the insurance on the day you process-in, you will be given 30 days to obtain this coverage. If you fail to comply you will be terminated from your fellowship and your J-1 visa will be revoked.

This insurance may be obtained while in your home country from a source in your home country or you may contact one of the following organizations upon arrival in the U.S. Be sure to indicate that you want medical evacuation and repatriation of remains insurance only. You will receive basic medical coverage from The Cleveland Clinic.
