Health Insurance Enrollment

The Institute for Advanced Study requires that all incoming scholars have health insurance coverage for themselves and all eligible dependents who accompany them.

If you elected to enroll in one of the health insurance plans offered through the Institute, it is necessary to visit the Human Resources Office (Fuld 101/102) as soon as possible after your arrival to complete your insurance application forms. When you enroll, Roberta Gernhardt (; ext. 8245) or Beatrice Jessen (; ext. 8243) can answer your questions concerning your chosen health insurance plan. It is recommended that you become familiar with the provisions of your plan before medical services may be needed.
