As of last year, at least a 3rd class medical was required to qualify for
AOPA AD&D insurance.

Do the standard medical insurance policies in the
USA cover medical problems arising from gliding or
powered flying?
Most medical insurance policies treat accidental injury separate from
other medical problems, and aviation accidents may well be excluded from
your coverage. AOPA will sell you aviation ad&d insurance for a nominal
(but non-trivial) sum. A medical certificate was once a requirement for
that coverage, but I see no mention of that now.
