Health Insurance

Wake Forest University School of Medicine requires that all students have health insurance.

Students required to have health insurance will be enrolled in and charged for the Student Health Insurance Plan (SHIP). The annual insurance cost will be split into two charges. Students may opt-out of the SHIP by submitting a waiver form documenting proof of comparable coverage at the start of the academic year. Once the waiver deadline has passed, students cannot opt-out of the insurance plan.

For information about the SHIP, access to the waiver form and other FAQs, please visit the Wake Forest University School of Medicine Student Health Insurance website.
