LMU requires DO students to carry personal health insurance. The LMU student injury and sickness insurance plan will be administered by United Healthcare Student Resources for the 2025-2026 academic year. If students are currently covered by comparable health insurance through the end of the 2025 – 2026 academic year, they may be able to waive automatic enrollment in the plan.
Medical students must have basic health insurance coverage during OMS-I through OMS-IV years.
The clinical sites where the students will be completing the OMS-III and –IV rotations require all staff and students to have health insurance. Students who do not have up-to-date health insurance will not be allowed to participate in any activity that involves patient contact. This may result in the student not being able to fulfill the requirements of certain courses and activities, which could have a detrimental effect on the student's progress.
Yearly Requirements: Students are required to submit a waiver if they would like to opt out of the LMU student injury and sickness insurance plan.
Students are required to complete a urine drug screen and influenza vaccine yearly in their CastleBranch© account.
