Under LSU Student Accident & Sickness Insurance Plan (SASIP),
new students with F and J visa status will be automatically
charged $273 for the BASIC PLAN and the Repatriation/Medical
Evacuation fee for the Summer 2011 semester. Approval and
waiver of the automatic insurance charge is contingent upon
the student’s health insurance coverage fulfilling all the
requirements listed on the "Insurance Coverage Evaluation
Form" (also listed below under Medical Health Insurance
Requirements). Copies of insurance cards and/or policy
brochures/statements are not accepted as proof of health
insurance coverage.
