Student Insurance

Hospitalization Insurance

Wake Forest University 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 the Cashier’s Office regarding this insurance. Proof of insured status must be available to the Registrar at matriculation and throughout attendance at Wake Forest School of Medicine.

The policy of the School of Medicine is that any charges incurred that are not covered by insurance will be the personal responsibility of the student. Regular clinical activities carried out after matriculation by the Employee Health Center will not create any charges for the individual student.
