Health Insurance

All PCOM students are required to have health insurance coverage. PCOM offers a student health insurance plan for students through United Healthcare. This plan renews annually and students are required to either waive the student health insurance plan or be automatically enrolled and the cost added to their tuition bill.  Questions about student health insurance can be directed to benefits@pcom.edu.

The PCOM Student Wellness Center maintains student health records, including the forms for the mandatory physical. Students are advised that routine and preventive health care would be best addressed by having a local personal primary care physician. If a student elects to utilize a PCOM medical practice, fees for consultations, lab work or diagnostic testing are submitted to the student’s health insurance for consideration for payment. Charges that exceed the payment made by the insurance, or denied payment, are left to the discretion of the individual provider for collection.
