Can I get temporary health insurance while moving to the US?

Accepted answer

my brother purchased temporary insurance for himself and his family upon arrival the USA through this service. It was recommended by the company he came to work for: https://www.insubuy.com/temporary-workers-insurance-eligibility/

However, these plans span at least one month, and I am not sure if it would be problematic to have overlapping insurance plans.

In my experience, this is not a problem. It just means that, if you do need to make a claim, you should disclose all your applicable policies to each insurer so that they can sort out between themselves who's covering what; the claims form will probably request this explicitly. (Overlapping policies would only become a problem if you tried to make multiple, separate claims for the same costs, which I'm fairly sure would qualify as fraud.) You can always ask the insurance company about this when buying the policy if you want explicit confirmation that it's OK.
