Domestic and International Graduate Students

Loyola University Maryland requires all full-time graduate students participating in the master’s Speech-Language Pathology program, Doctorate of Psychology program, Washington Montessori Institute and the Emerging Leaders MBA based program have health insurance during the 2022-23 academic year. You are required to either enroll online in the Loyola-sponsored Student Health Insurance plan or submit an online request to waive coverage. To waive coverage, your plan must have comparable coverage based on Loyola’s waiver criteria.

Waiver Criteria – You will be asked these five questions when you go online to waive Loyola’s Student Health Insurance coverage. All answers must be yes or your request to waive will be denied.

1. My plan is provided by a company licensed to do business in the United States, with a U.S. claims payment office and a U.S. phone number.
2. My plan is currently active, and I agree to maintain health insurance coverage throughout the entire 2022/2023 academic year.
3. My plan covers inpatient and outpatient medical care.
4. My plan covers inpatient and outpatient mental health and alcohol abuse.
5. My plan provides coverage for prescription drugs.

Be certain that your plan benefits extend to the State of Maryland. We strongly recommend that you check with your insurance provider to assure continued health insurance coverage while at Loyola University Maryland, specifically for diagnostic testing (lab work and x-rays) and referrals to specialists. Some HMOs offer guest membership plans which provide healthcare benefits to continue at the same level when away from home. Please contact your HMO insurance provider to find out if this option is available. There is usually no charge for this type of program.
