Student Health Insurance

It is highly recommended that all AAP students maintain adequate health insurance coverage to provide protection against unexpected accidents and illnesses. The University Student Health Insurance Plan is administered by Aetna Student Health and underwritten by Aetna Life Insurance Company. You must be at a full-time status, taking a minimum of three courses a semester, in order to be eligible to purchase the University Student Health Insurance Plan. 

International Students who are enrolled in three courses or more to satisfy their visa requirements are considered full-time status and are required to enroll in the University Student Health Insurance plan or a comparable plan. Medical care in the United States is very expensive. In the event of an unexpected accident requiring professional care, the JHU Student Health Insurance plan will make the experience less stressful.

The Student Health Insurance Plan is administered by Aetna Student Health and is underwritten by Aetna Life Insurance Company.

To enroll in the Student Health Insurance Plan, go to www.aetnastudenthealth.com click on "Find Your School," enter Johns Hopkins University, select Homewood campus, and follow the instructions to enroll. You can also download and complete an Enrollment Form and return it to the Office of the Registrar, 75 Garland Hall, 3400 N. Charles St., Baltimore, MD 21218-2688. A permanent insurance I.D. card will be mailed to you shortly after your application is processed. For questions about this plan, please contact Aetna Student Health at 800-558-8845 or Martha Gamble, the University Student Insurance Coordinator at 410-516-8079.
