Long-term disability (LTD) insurance protects your ability to earn an income should you suffer a debilitating illness or injury that keeps you from working or attending school. The MedPlus Advantage plan, sponsored by the American Medical Association, is designed to meet the unique needs of health care professionals.<\/p>\n

Full-time students enrolled in the MEDEX Northwest Physician Assistant Program at the University of Washington are eligible for this coverage.<\/p>\n

    Enrolling after the first 31 days of school or outside the annual open enrollment period<\/h4>\n

    If you miss your application date and wish to apply for coverage after the first 31 days of starting school or outside the annual open enrollment period, you will be required to complete a Medical History Statement<\/a> authorizing Standard Insurance Company to obtain information about your health, and may also be required to undergo a physical examination in order to determine evidence of good health.
