Health Insurance and Background Check
*Students are required to maintain health insurance for the duration of their enrollment in the MPASProgram. Students are responsible for healthcare costs, whether incidental or incurred as a result of course-related activity.
The 91¶ÌÊÓƵ has an excellent Student Health Insurance Plan available to you, or you can acquire your own insurance. For questions or more information, please contact the Student Insurance Advocate at 406-243-2844 or studentinsurance@mso.umt.edu. Include your 790# with your inquiry.
All students must provide documentation of health insurance coverage in Exxat. Maintenance of health requirements (e.g., physical exam, immunizations and titers, urine drug screens, etc.), as well as other requirements determined by clinical rotation sites, are the financial responsibility of the student regardless of whether it is covered by the student’s health insurance.
**Background check costs vary based on the number of times you have moved in the preceding seven years.

Travel, Housing and Transportation
During the clinical year, students may have to complete clinical rotations outside of Missoula and in other locations across the state of Montana. There are some clinical rotations outside of Montana (e.g., Wyoming). Students are responsible for coordinating all travel and housing accommodations. Some sites may provide sleeping quarters where a fee may be required. Furthermore, students must have reliable transportation to and from their clinical rotation sites. The cost of all transportation (including air travel, if necessary) and housing is the student's responsibility. See the Estimated Cost of Attendance for more information.
