This coverage is available to eligible medical students for a specially negotiated rate of $41 a year. You receive – $1,000 a month for up to 12 months to help see you through a disabling illness or injury.
Acceptance in this coverage is guaranteed during the annual open enrollment period ending December 31 for eligible medical students.
If you cannot attend classes due to a disabling illness or injury, you can receive monthly cash benefits of $1,000 for up to 12 full months.
Your monthly benefits begin after a 30-day waiting or “elimination” period. The elimination period begins on the first day of a total disability.
This coverage defines total disability as a sickness or injury that prevents you from attending classes and performing the normal duties of a medical student, and requires the regular care and attendance of a physician other than yourself or a family member. The disability must begin while you are actively engaged full-time in the school’s curriculum and while covered under the policy. Benefits will not be payable for more than one disability at the same time, regardless of multiple causes.
If you are insured under this Student Disability Coverage and you apply to change class designation from a Student to a Physician within three months after graduation, you will be accepted (provided you are not disabled and are practicing full-time) for up to $2,000 in monthly benefits, with no physical examination required or health questions to answer.
