INF Global

INF Global specializes in plans for people moving temporarily to the US, with separate tracks for students and exchange visitors. Their strength is flexibility, they let you pick coverage lengths from just a few months up to years, and you can adjust deductibles to fit your budget. They're lighter on visa-specific nuance than dedicated student brokers, but more flexible if you're planning a shorter stint or want unusual term lengths.

Best if you're looking for coverage with atypical timing, want to customize your deductible, or you're an exchange visitor rather than a traditional F-1 or J-1 student. Less ideal if your university has strict insurance mandates, since you'll need to verify their plans meet your school's specific requirements upfront.
