Having adequate health care coverage is an important consideration when you retire.
The university offers retiree medical and dental coverage for eligible retirees and their eligible dependents—the same coverage available to active employees and their families. The amount that JHU pays (the subsidy) is determined based on your age and years of service.
See the current cost of coverage for retiree medical and dental insurance, listed by employment type:
- Faculty and Staff Retiree Cost of Coverage April 1, 2022 – March 31, 2023
- Bargaining Unit Retiree Cost of Coverage April 1, 2022 – March 31, 2023
As an alternative to the JHU retiree medical plans for those 65 or older, you may want to consider Mercer Marketplace 365+ which provides access to the Mercer Retiree Exchange Platform and to one-on-one help from a licensed retiree benefits counselor. Choose from Medicare Supplement Plans, Medicare Advantage Plans, prescription drug plans, dental and vision.
