[La-cgs] question about cost of student health insurance

[Ramu Ramachandran]

Carol:

At this time I only have info on the insurance for international 
students. The Director of our International Student and Scholar Services 
says: "The bid was won by Relation Education Solutions. The insurance 
policy is with GeoBlue. Students pay $357 per quarter unless they have 
dependents. The full cost for all 4 quarters is $1,428."

I hope to get some info about options available for US citizens soon and 
will pass that along.

Best regards,
Ramu
