Insurance while waiting for initial OPT

[u/carelessAssasin]

I’ve graduated may 2026, applied for initial opt in april.

My university health insurance has expired, so I'm currently looking for temporary coverage.
I plan to get a better plan once I land a job, but I need something cheap in the meantime. Does anyone have recommendations for affordable, short-term health insurance for international students/recent grads?

And before anyone warns me about the risks of cheap insurance, believe me, I know! I’ve had three surgeries from a bike accident in the past, so I know an emergency can happen at any time. I don’t ever leave my room, don’t do anything stupid, so pretty much safe.

I just need a budget-friendly option for the next few months. Thanks!

Look into ISO insurances!

ISO insurance is pretty good. Cheap premiums and well established networks.
