Hello OZB community,
Seeking for some help buying health insurance for the first time. As part of my visa condition and also to avoid being taxed for, I am looking for the cheapest possible insurance out there. Doesn't matter the provider or the coverage as I never use it anyway.
Did a little search and only insurance from household names show up. Got around $75/month onwards from AHM, HCF, Frank and BUPA. Aren't there any smaller companies out there where I am looking at something less than may be $50?
Or if anyone know if I can get by just choosing extras only?
About me:

Thanks in advance!
Have no specific recommendations, but have a bit of advice that may or may not be right. Last time I spoke to someone about this, I was under the impression that policies of the many of the companies you mentioned specifically state that the policies are not for the purposes of an overseas visitor. I was given the impression that an overseas visitor would need special policies with special coverage.
This conversation was quite a few years ago and I never bothered to fact check, but thought it might be useful for you to know.
