I waived NYU's student plan and saved $1,800 a year with the same hospital network. The waiver was approved on the first try — the certificate matched the school's required minimums exactly.

My SHIP would have been $3,400 for the year. I got identical-or-better coverage through Ombrela for $1,180. UCLA accepted the waiver immediately.

The continuous coverage during my visa change saved me. SHIP plans drop you the day you graduate but jobs do not start until weeks later. Ombrela bridged the gap automatically.

Almost no broker covers M1 students. Ombrela does, and the price was reasonable. Felt like someone finally thought about smaller school programs too.

Questions
Often, yes. Many schools allow an F-1/M-1 student to waive the school plan with comparable private coverage. Check your school’s specific waiver requirements (limits, deductible, deadline) and compare them against your quote before submitting the waiver.
Yes. Plans are available for F-1 and M-1 students as well as students on OPT and CPT, including continuous coverage through a status change so you are not left with a gap between graduation and your job start.
Many students find comparable coverage for substantially less than a university SHIP plan. Actual savings depend on your age, school, and the limits you select — run a quote to see real numbers for your situation.
If a school does not accept a waiver, you can usually cancel a newly purchased policy within the carrier’s free-look window for a refund. Always confirm the waiver is approved before relying on it.
Coverage of pre-existing conditions varies by plan. Some include an acute-onset benefit. Each plan’s details are shown in the results so you can pick one that fits your needs.
