Enroll/Cost

It is the policy of Johns Hopkins University that all full-time learners maintain adequate health insurance coverage to provide protection against unexpected accidents and illnesses. All full-time learners are automatically enrolled in the university learner-sponsored health benefits plan, and the individual level plan premium will be paid by the university.

If you are a Postdoctoral Fellow enrolling a Domestic Partner or a child of a Domestic Partner in coverage you must contact JHU Benefits at [email protected] immediately. Under section 152 of the Internal Revenue Code, unmarried domestic partners are not recognized as dependents. Therefore, the fair market value of the health insurance benefits provided by the university for a domestic partner must be treated as taxable income. This means that taxes will be calculated on the difference in the premium for individual and two-party coverage that is paid by the university; this amount will be reflected on your pay statement.
