Student Health Insurance

Domestic Students

Domestic students enrolled in a full-time program with at least one in-person course will be auto-enrolled into medical insurance under the JHU Student Health Insurance Plan. Domestic students can submit a waiver if they have verifiable comparable coverage. Domestic students can enroll in dental and vision insurance for an additional fee.

International Students with Visa Status

All International Students here on an F-1/J-1 Visa are required to purchase the university-sponsored student health benefits plan with Wellfleet and therefore will be automatically enrolled with an effective date of August 1 or 15, depending on your matriculation date. New Spring F-1/J-1 Visa students will have an effective date of January 1.

Medical care in the United States is very expensive. In the event of an unexpected accident requiring professional care, the JHU university-student-sponsored health insurance plan will make the experience less stressful.

Important Information about Enrolling in the Wellfleet Plan
