HEALTH INSURANCE

Health insurance coverage is required for all full-time graduate students.  The Medical College offers an insurance policy through Humana.  The annual premium for single coverage is paid by the college for all full-time students in the PhD programs as part of their fellowship program.  Some students are covered under health insurance policies of their parents, spouses or full-time employer and are eligible to be waived from enrollment.  Students have also elected to require single coverage for dental and vision for all full-time students enrolled in the health insurance plan.  Full time degree-seeking MS, MA or MPH graduate students may purchase the student health insurance plan.  Each student is responsible for payment of this coverage at registration or through stipend deduction.
