OPT health insurance plans are useful to those who are on student visa but have already working under the
Optional Practical Training program. Eligibility requirements for the plans listed below vary from plan to plan. In general, you are eligible for most of the OPT health insurance plans listed below only
if earlier had international health insurance plan. In most cases, if you had a domestic health insurance such as through from your school,
you should instead look under the individual insurance section, either short term or long term insurance.
