<p class="MsoNormal">According to our Dean of Students, LSUS does not offer student health insurance. When LSU signed the agreement with Gallagher (2016), we participated for a brief time. However, few students signed up as the details of the plan were not
beneficial for our student population. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">International students are required to have basic coverage and the Registrar’s office connects them with several options. It is then the student’s responsibility to contact them and get the coverage. <o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Good morning,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I look forward to seeing everyone on April 30!<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">My question is about the cost of student health insurance. Setting aside whether your University pays a portion or not, what is the cost of the plan, is that cost a per semester or per AY or per CY, and who is the provider? For instance,
the cost at LSU is about $2800 per AY (summer is extra) and the provider is Gallagher (underwritten by United Healthcare Insurance). And yes this is a hot topic at LSU, particularly for our international students.<o:p></o:p></p>
