Health Fish

No. healthfish.com is an educational website and referral directory. We explain health, travel medical, temporary and student coverage in plain English and connect you with independent licensed agents in your city and state.

It depends on your age, location, household and the plan you choose, so we don't quote premiums on this site. A licensed agent serving your city or state can run an actual quote.

Travel medical insurance covers medical emergencies while you're traveling internationally — it's different from a domestic health plan and is often required for certain visas.

Short-term (temporary) medical plans are designed to bridge a gap of a few months and typically don't cover pre-existing conditions the way ACA-compliant plans do — a licensed agent can explain the trade-offs for your situation.

You may be able to continue employer coverage through COBRA, buy a bridge/short-term plan, or enroll in an ACA Marketplace plan under a special enrollment period. A licensed agent can walk through what fits your timeline.

Many schools require proof of coverage. Students can often stay on a parent's plan, use a school-sponsored plan, or buy an individual plan — compare the cost and coverage of each.

Licensed agents can list for free, or sponsor a ZIP code, a state, or the whole country so shoppers in that area who ask for help are connected to them.
