Dear Domestic Students,

Thank you for your interest in the 2023-2024 Louisiana State University - Baton Rouge Continuation Plan for students previously insured in the Student Health Insurance Plan Hard Waiver Program. A Description of Benefits and enrollment form is enclosed for your review. This plan is underwritten by UnitedHealthcare Insurance Company and is serviced by Gallagher Student Health & Special Risk. UnitedHealthcare Student Resources is the Claims Administrator.

There are a few key provisions we would like to bring to your attention:

  1. Please review the eligibility section thoroughly to ensure you are eligible to enroll.
  2. The enrollment form must be received within 15 days of termination of coverage under the LSU Student Health Insurance Plan. Your coverage effective date will be retroactive to the day following your termination date under the LSU Student Health Insurance Plan. If the deadline is not met, you will not be able to enroll in the Continuation Plan.
  3. Students are allowed to purchase up to six (6) months of coverage and must select the term of coverage at the time of their initial enrollment. However, once the period of coverage the student elects terminates, they will not be eligible to re-enroll for another term of coverage.
  4. The Continuation Plan duplicates the coverage of your current LSU Student Health Insurance Plan.
  5. Students will receive a new identification card. The Continuation Plan includes health care providers affiliated with the UnitedHealthcare Choice Plus PPO Preferred Provider Network. You can locate Choice Plus PPO providers at www.gallagherstudent.com/lsu-batonrouge  under “Find A Doctor”.
  6. You must be eligible to enroll in the Continuation Plan and meet the enrollment deadline in order for your application to be accepted by us. If it is discovered you do not meet the requirements, your premium will be refunded.
  7. This Continuation Plan does not require Pre-Certification to access Benefits.
  8. Enrolling in the Continuation Plan does not guarantee additional benefits for a covered Injury or Sickness. Covered Medical Expenses incurred while enrolled in the active LSU Student Health Insurance Plan prior to the Effective Date of coverage for the Continuation Plan will be applied towards the unlimited Per LSU Student Health Insurance Plan Maximum.
  9. The completed application along with the required premium should be sent to Gallagher Student Health & Special Risk, P.O. Box 845663, Boston, MA 02284-5663 or email Quincy.BSD.enrollmentteam@AJG.com.

Once Gallagher Student Health & Special Risk receives your completed enrollment form and applicable premium, we will process the application and send your information to the Claims Administrator.

2023-2024 Continuation Plan Enrollment Form

Eligibility Requirement: All Insured Persons who have been continuously insured under the school's regular student policy for at least 12 consecutive months and who no longer meet the eligibility requirements under that policy are eligible to continue their coverage for a period of not more than 6 months under the school's policy in effect at the time of such continuation. If an Insured Person is still eligible for continuation at the beginning of the next Policy Year, the Insured must purchase coverage under the new policy as chosen by the school. Coverage under the new policy is subject to the rates and benefits selected by the school for that Policy Year.

You must decide at the time of enrollment the period of coverage to purchase. You cannot re-enroll in the Continuation Plan after your Period of Coverage has expired. Enrollment in this Continuation Plan must be made within 15 days from the date that coverage terminates under the student's active Student Injury and Sickness Insurance Plan. You must be eligible to enroll in the plan and meet the enrollment deadline in order for your enrollment to be accepted by us. If it is discovered you do not meet the requirements your premium will be refunded. Use the chart below to calculate the number of months you wish to continue coverage for yourself and your dependents. Add the amounts in the Total Premium Column to confirm total payment.

Continuation coverage for dependents must be purchased at the same time of student enrollment. Dependents can be enrolled only if, (a) they were previously enrolled under the active Student Injury and Sickness Insurance Plan, (b) the student enrolls in the Continuation Plan and (c) they are enrolled for the same period of coverage as the enrolled student. List Dependents to be insured below
