If I am an international student, does the health insurance policy apply to me?

Modified on Thu, Aug 11, 2022 at 5:13 PM

All on-campus international students must enroll in the Blue Cross Blue Shield plan with the exception of:

  • Those international students whose sponsoring institution has a signed agreement with Lesley University that complies with the health insurance waiver requirements.
  • International students with a plan for which their health insurance company’s primary home office is based in the United States, and the policy provides comparable coverage to the University student health insurance plan.


International students who qualify to waive the insurance based on the information above must go to gallagherstudent.com/lesley to waive the insurance charge. All other international students are required to enroll in the health insurance plan and are not eligible for a waiver.


International students should also contact Gallagher via phone at 1-800-401-6068 to provide a local address so that they receive their insurance card without delay.
