Health Insurance Requirement
Johnson University requires all full-time undergraduate students taking courses on campus to carry health insurance.
Students will be automatically enrolled in the University’s health insurance plan unless they provide proof of coverage. Students will be required to either complete an online health insurance waiver form, providing their current health insurance provider, or enroll with the University’s student health insurance provider for the current academic year. Both the waiver form and the enrollment form are available on the student portal.
Students who enroll in student health insurance for the fall term pay for a 12-month policy that begins the first day of class. Students who begin in the spring term pay a reduced amount due to the reduced length of the policy.
Health Insurance Coverage
The health insurance provided through Johnson includes unlimited major medical coverage after a $250 annual in-network/$600 annual out-of-network deductible. Most claims involve an 80/20% coinsurance for in-network providers and 60/40% coinsurance for out-of-network providers. There is a $25.00 co-pay per office visit.
Policy effective dates for the 2023-2024 academic school year:
| 2023 Fall term | 08/01/2023 – 12/31/2023 |
| 2024 Spring Term | 01/01/2024 – 05/31/2024 |
| 2024 Summer Term | 05/01/2024 – 07/31/2024 |

Note: To determine the premium for a student with spouse, student with spouse and children, or student with children, simply add the above rates together. For example, if a student wants insurance for himself and his spouse, then the premium will equal the student rate plus the spouse rate. If both spouses are students, then the student rate applies to both.
Insurance premiums are determined by the carrier and may increase from one year to the next.
