Transition-Related Health Coverage
Student health insurance at Hopkins has provisions for trans-inclusive care. Hormones and gender confirmation surgery are covered as any other medical procedure would be. Employees of JHU and JHMI have similar levels of coverage.Individual, small-group, and student health plans sold in Maryland are prohibited from excluding transition care in their policies. If you feel like you are not getting the coverage you are entitled to, you may be able to get legal support from the Maryland State Attorney General’s office, Free State Justice, and Whitman-Walker Clinic.
