Student and Dependent Medical Plans and Disability Income Insurance Plan
More information
All registered students are automatically enrolled in the Case Student Medical Plan. The Medical Plan fee is automatically billed each semester (fall and spring) at the time the student registers. Coverage during the spring semester extends through the summer until mid-August. Students who are enrolled in comparable insurance plans may waive the Medial Plan online. Once submitted, waivers are irrevocable for that semester. A brochure is available for an explanation of the Medical Plan coverage. Dependents of students are not eligible for care at the University Health Service. However, the University does offer an Optional Dependent Medical Plan for dependent spouses, domestic partners, and children of students.
Additionally, three local insurance brokers work together to provide students with the option of subscribing to the AMA-sponsored Student Disability Income Insurance Plan, underwritten by Standard Insurance Company. Students are presented this information during first-year Orientation.
