Critical Illness Protection

UHC Logo

LSU partners with UnitedHealthcare to provide you and your family with valuable Critical Illness insurance. This benefit is designed to help protect you and your family's financial health. Critical Illness insurance can help fill a financial gap if you or a family member experiences a severe, life-threatening illness, such as cancer, heart attack, and major organ transplant. Upon diagnosis of a covered illness, you can receive a lump-sum benefit.
