submit copy of insurance policy certificate
- Nursing students must carry their own malpractice insurance to
level of RN licensure/additional certification throughout the entire
program. (See below for some insurance agency options. Some
policies require nurse practitioner students to also be covered as a student in the nurse
practitioner program. Make sure you comparison shop.)
- The School of Nursing must always have a copy of your most current
policy. Updated verification must be submitted prior to expiration of
policy on record with our office.
- To verify insurance, submit copy of certificate page from policy
indicating insurance provider, your name, policy number, dates and
amount of coverage. Copies of insurance cards or payment receipts are
not acceptable. Apply early
to receive policy prior to deadline. Can take up to 6 weeks to receive
policy from insurance company. School of Nursing does not make verbal
verification. Your company can fax your policy certificate to
us at (307) 766-4294.

your policy certificate.
