Private Insurance Option

International students on F and J visa statuses may substitute the LSU Medical Health Insurance Plan with a private medical health insurance plan which meets all mandatory requirements set forth by the University (and the United States Department of State for J visas status holders.)

PLEASE FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS BELOW:

  • Have your private insurance agent completely fill out and sign the "F-1 or J-1 Insurance Coverage Evaluation form" and then send the form back to you for your signature on the "Student Signature Line" at the bottom of the form.  This form is located at the front desk of 101 Hatcher Hall or you may scroll down to the bottom of this page to download the appropriate form according to your visa status. 
  • Bring this form to International Services, 101 Hatcher Hall,  by Tuesday, June 12, 2012 (absolute deadline date.  No exceptions will be considered.)   This form may also be faxed to International Services at 225-578-1413 or e-mailed to Janice Goodloe at jgoodlo@lsu.edu.  You may also choose to request the health insurance waiver on line at: www.lsustudentinsurance.com.

PLEASE NOTE:

  • INSURANCE COVERAGE EVALUATION FORMS MUST BE COMPLETELY FILLED OUT, DATED, SIGNED BY PRIVATE HEALTH INSURANCE COMPANIES AND SUBMITTED TO INTERNATIONAL SERVICES BY THE DEADLINE DATE AT THE BEGINNING OF EACH AND EVERY SEMESTER, REGARDLESS OF THE INSURANCE COVERAGE END DATE STATED ON ANY PREVIOUSLY SUBMITTED AND/OR APPROVED FORMS.
  • Your private insurance policy must be effective from June 4, 2012 - July 26, 2012 for the Summer 2012 semester.
