Effective Fall 2009 all visa students will be required to purchase the CSULB approved health insurance. The idea behind the requirement is that "Insurance For International Students permits them to protect themselves from huge medical bills at the event of emergency or illnesses during their studies overseas. In addition, individuals without medical insurance will have great difficulty receiving prompt medical attention.," according to the Indian Student Association.
Alternative health insurance will not be accepted.
Those studying abroad will also have to purchase the same health insurance, for the same reasons. Purchasing the health insurance is a precaution.
Students will not be allowed to register without having first acquired the proper health insurance.
According to the Indian Student Association the "CSULB approved health insurance policy is a CSU group policy offered through Wells Fargo Student Insurance and administered through Anthem Blue Cross." This insurance can be purchased on line through www.csuhealthlink.com.
For more detailed information regarding the required health insurance you can visit the international education health care website.
