Accidental Death & Dismemberment

UHC Logo

 

An accident that ends in death or disabling injury has a devastating effect on the lives of your loved ones. The loss of a family wage earner puts strain on a family and raises concerns as to how they will manage financially. Remaining family members could be left with fulfilling your financial responsibilities or taking care of you.

LSU partners with UnitedHealthcare to provide you and your family with valuable AD&D insurance at affordable rates. This benefit pays in the event of death or dismemberment resulting from an accident. You may select coverage for yourself, your spouse and/or your children. You can enroll, make changes, or cancel this benefit at any time throughout the year.

AD&D can be added, changed, or cancelled at any time during the year.
