Some basics before you start your travel
1. Welcome to the U.S. Healthcare System
When traveling to the U.S., one of the biggest differences you'll encounter is the healthcare system. Unlike many other countries, medical care in the U.S. is not free — in fact, it can be extremely expensive. That’s why having private health insurance is not just a recommendation; it’s essential!
2. Set up your MyInsurance account
Once your exchange organization enrolls you in the insurance plan, you will receive a welcome email with all the details about your coverage. This email includes a link to your MyInsurance account, where you can access all important information. It’s very important that you set up your MyInsurance account and log in before your departure.
