The University of Maryland Baltimore maintains a number of different programs to provide professional liability insurance coverage for its students while in clinical settings as part of their academic programs.  As a result, the method for future employers or academic institutions to verify coverage and learn of claims histories for former University students varies depending on a former student’s school and specific academic program.

Please be advised that your request cannot be processed until you graduate. Requests made before your graduation date will be held until such time.

The University’s insurance program provides professional liability coverage for the following students:

Allied Health Students in these programs:

School of Medicine:

• Human Genetics Counseling
• Medical Research and Technology
• Pathology – Student
• Physical Therapy and Rehabilitation Science  

School of Nursing

• Pharm.D.

School of Social Work

Procedure for Requesting Proof of Insurance / Claims History:

All requests for proof of insurance and/or claims history require a form of request providing basic information, listed here, along with an enrollment verification from the Office of the Registrar.  It is preferred to use the University's Form (link below)‌‌.  If the form provided by an employer or academic institution is used, the graduate must verify that the form includes all required information, and append additional pages as required if the form is not as comprehensive as the University’s form.

Forms must be signed by the graduate.  If the name of the graduate is not the name that appears in current University records, evidence of change of name (e.g., copy of marriage license) must be provided. 

Required information:

Full name of the graduate (include maiden and/or married name).

Current address, phone number, and email address.
School and program attended, degree obtained, and years enrolled at school.

Where information is to be sent, and whether the recipient will accept a facsimile or e-mail. Information must be sent directly to the requesting employer or academic institution. 

Whether the graduate wishes to receive a copy of the mailing to the requesting employer or academic institution.
Graduate’s statement that the University and the State of Maryland are authorized to release the information requested, and held harmless from any liability as a result of releasing the information.

Enrollment verification from the Office of the Registrar.

Procedure for Allied Health Program Graduates and Dental School Graduates

The employer or academic / research institution must request the information in writing and submit a request signed by the graduate or complete the online form (University's Form PDF‌ can be used.) 

The request should be faxed to the Risk Management Division at the address below. The graduate must accompany the request with an enrollment verification from the Office of the Registrar. The graduate can request a copy of the enrollment verification to be sent directly to the Risk Management Division, 220 N. Arch Street, 14thFloor (03-143), Baltimore, Maryland 21201. Requests cannot be processed without an enrollment verification.  EHS will review the request for completeness and forward it to the appropriate insurance carrier for processing.  The entire procedure can take up to 21 days.  It takes longer if paperwork is incomplete or incorrect.

Release forms must be signed by graduates and must contain all requested information or they will be returned for completion.
