Insurance for Dependents (F2/J2 & M2 visa)
One of the biggest changes we are seeing in the international insurance world is that
many school group insurance plans are dropping dependents. These ACA compliant plans
cover maternity and pre-existing conditions from day one, which have been leading
factors in rising claims.
To combat this increase in dependent claims, insurers are removing dependents from their
plans, leaving the student or scholar's spouses and children on their own. We are trying
to meet this increasing need with a variety of individual insurance options that can
cover dependents, from a standard travel medical plan to a more comprehensive major
medical insurance plan.
See our dependent
insurance page for more details.

Google Tag Manager & Analytics - Tracking Web Events
How do we know when a partner program is working and that we’re delivering the
right amount of clicks, leads, etc., to the customer? In the old days we needed to use
things like secondary click pages, tracking pixels on the remote side or sketchy
javascript to record clicks. Today, we use a combination of Google Analytics and the
Google Tag Manager to track each outgoing click to our partner’s sites, as well as
other events like embedded video plays and site registrations.
This month we’ll walk you through each of the steps needed to track clicks from
your website and to have them appear in your Analytics account as either events or goal
completions.
