hello friends,

i am looking for cheap health insurance coverage for my college (UTA), and if anybody knows or have used the health insurance that meet the following requirements, it'd be really helpful. I am not sure if health insurance through isoa.org, icsweb.org etc. will be qualified. So, i wanted to know if anybody here knows or have successfully applied the waiver through the UT Student Health Insurance Plan (UT SHIP). [https://www2.academichealthplans.com/school/171.html]

The health insurance for International students now needs to have medical insurance compliant with the federal Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA).
The UT System has established criteria in which an international student can request a waiver to the student health insurance plan by providing alternate health insurance coverage that meets the following requirements:
1. Unlimited maximum on benefits
2. No Pre-existing condition limitation
3. $500 or less deductible

Notes

The carrier letter for a US Individual Plan must include a signed, official letter on letterhead stating:
Plan holder name and date of birth
Insurance carrier and plan name
Start date and end date of coverage
Metal tier of Plan (ie: Bronze, Silver, Gold, Platinum)
Confirmation that the plan is certified for sale as a Qualified Health Plan (QHP)

Thank you all
