East Baltimore Student Health and Well-Being Health Fee

In addition to meeting insurance coverage requirements, all full-time on-campus Bloomberg School students are billed a per-term health fee for access to Student Health and Well-Being (SHWB) resources and on-campus health services.

All full-time on-campus students are billed a $850.00 SHWB Health Fee for access to our on-campus health services.  The SHWB Health Fee is not insurance and students are billed the fee on a per-term basis ($212.50 per term) until the $850.00 is paid in full (after 4 terms).  Students who obtain insurance outside of JHU and who pay the SHWB Health Fee are eligible for SHWB services.

Please note that if you are not a full-time student in a degree-seeking program and wish to receive or continue services, you must submit a SEAM case to request to opt in. You will be required to opt in for two consecutive academic terms. Your student account will be charged $212.50 for each term. 

The SHWB fee grants students eligibility for Primary Care and Mental Health Services as well as a range of other well-being resources. Specific information pertaining to JHU Student Health and Well-Being and Benefits is available on their websites.
