Anyone a visiting student in the US such that you don't qualify for health insurance that requires you to be enrolled as a student at a US institution?

Any thoughts on a decent health insurance provider for people in that situation?

Maybe it varies by state...

I've been given information - but turns out that puts me onto insurance 'brokers' rather than directly in touch with insurance policies (where policy details matter to me as much as price of the policy).

Can anyone reccommend a comparatively 'good' health insurance provider in the US (in terms of good value for $$ and reasonable turnaround time with reimbursement and not too many tedious forms)?

In particular:

- Getting glasses would be nice (optometry)
- Don't care about dental
- Mental health would be nice (limited no of visits ok cause I'm only going for 9 months)
- Would really like 100% of GP visits on Campus to be covered and minimal contribution for prescriptions from my end (if possible) including (perhaps significantly) birth control pills.

Thanks.
