Welcome

Parents and Students,

WELCOME  to the Thagard Student Health Center’s Student Insurance Management Information System (SIMIS). 

Healthy students meet their academic goals.  Thagard Student Health Center administers the requirement for insurance coverage for the university.  Every full-time student new to the university must show proof of comparable health insurance prior to registration once each year or purchase the student health insurance.

Other insurance is acceptable as comparable if it meets minimum requirements listed under Private Insurance Requirements to the left.

Please use this site as a resource as you decide on the options available to you.  A tutorial on the Student page, with chapters earmarked for different populations, will walk you through step by step.

The university sponsored plans for 2011-2012 offered by Blue Cross/Blue Shield of Florida will be available for selection when open enrollment begins on March 2, 2011.  Plan comparisons, premiums and benefits summaries are listed in the menu on the left side of this page.  International students, visiting scholars or post doctoral fellows at FSU on a J-1 or F-1 visa, must purchase the international plan or an equivalent policy.  The plan for international students meets all federal, state and Board of Trustees rules and regulations regarding health insurance.  All other students, post docs and visiting scholars purchase the domestic comprehensive plan. 

Welcome again to the Florida State family.  The Thagard Student Health Center staff is ready to assist as you transition to college life.  Please let me know if we can make your move into the FSU support system a more positive and enriching experience.

Sincerely,

Lesley Sacher, MHA, FACHE, FACHA
