Insurance

Hospitalization Insurance

Wake Forest University School of Medicine requires that all students have hospitalization insurance and maintain coverage throughout enrollment. Students who are eligible to continue under their parents' or spouse's coverage may do so.

As an alternative, the school of medicine has made arrangements for students and their families to purchase insurance at group rates. Please contact Financial Services regarding this insurance. Proof of insured status must be available to the Registrar at matriculation and throughout attendance at the School of Medicine.

Any charges incurred that are not covered by insurance will be the personal responsibility of the student. Clinical services that are institutional requirements (e.g., flu shots, tuberculosis test, etc.) will not create any charges for the individual student.

Dental Insurance

Wake Forest University School of Medicine has made arrangements for students and their families to purchase dental insurance at group rates. Please contact Financial Services regarding this insurance.
