buying health insurance for a minor with F1 visa status
I have a friend whose brother is a middle school student with F1 visa status. His private school doesn't have health insurance for international students like him, and his old health insurance plan is expiring soon, without the option to renew. Does anyone currently have health insurance purchased for a minor with F1 visa status, or does anyone have experience with this ? Could you please give me some information as to which plans/company are reliable/credible ?
Thank you for your help.

Hi,
Is the child from a foreign country? Then I would first look for options in that country, typically a health insurance that covers one year abroad,including the U.S.

I am the international student coordinator at Orinda Academy. We usually use ISO for student health insurance. The number is 800-244-1180 and the website is isoa.org.
