It is the policy of the Marshall University Joan C. Edwards School of Medicine that all enrolled medical students have health insurance. All students are automatically enrolled in the school sponsored student health insurance plan and per policy must “waive” out by demonstrating adequate health care coverage. All students who chose to waive out must do so annually by the date posted on the annual renewal notices.
In the event an enrolled student should suffer a disabling injury or illness that lasts longer than 90 days, the Marshall University Joan C. Edwards School of Medicine sponsors a disability benefit sponsored by the American Medical Association and underwritten by The Standard Insurance Co.
