Let us brief you regarding the general insurance stuff on campus. The University has its own official Medical Insurance-United Health Care Insurance Service for which you can visit the website https://www.uhcsr.com/selfservicesupport/students/collegeStudents.aspx
The University expects all its students to take insurance cover from United Health Care but you might find it expensive. At the same time the best part is that the University doesn't force you to take coverage only from this company, you are free to choose from any Insurance Provider. We will list you the site from where you can choose any insurance company that suits your requirement.
On the issue of getting insurance from India, from TATA-AIG or ICICI Lombard, it’s not advisable as it’s not easy to settle the claims with them. We would advise that you might carry just the travel insurance for the journey and get on with the American Insurance once you settle here. There are number of good companies here with various schemes, including add on dental cover. The University Health Service recognizes most of the Health Insurance Companies. We advise everyone to visit http://buyamericaninsurance.com
The two main insurance companies listed for students are HTH and Study USA-Health care. Both the insurance companies are recognized by the University Health Services.
The GW Health Plan information is available on the site http://gwired.gwu.edu/shs/Insurance/
