Insurance for Medical Students

On this page:

Requirement

Boonshoft School of Medicine students must purchase medical student health insurance or submit a waiver declining purchase. Boonshoft students also are required to have Life & Disability Insurance. A preventative dental plan is now included with your medical benefits. Purchasing or waiving insurance cannot be done through WINGS Express; it must be done through the waiver/enrollment portal during the open waiver/enrollment period. The waiver site is located at student.anthem.com and will be active between May 15 and July 15. 

For more information, please contact the Student Insurance Office at studenthealthinsurance@wright.edu.

Enrollment

Wright State University will automatically enroll you in the university-sponsored student medical and prescription drug insurance plan with an effective date of July 1 each academic year.

If you currently have medical and prescription drug coverage under another plan, you may submit a waiver request at student.anthem.com to have the premium removed from your student account. Your waiver must be submitted between May 15 and July 15 each academic year. Your waiver will remain on file until the end of the academic year, July 1 through June 30.

If you experience a Qualifying Life Event at any time during the school year, you can join the plan within 31 days of the QLE. For assistance with a QLE, please contact the Program Director of Student Health Benefits, Nancy Caupp at studenthealthinsurance@wright.edu.
