Monmouth University offers a Direct Access Point of Service (POS) medical insurance plan through Horizon Blue Cross Blue Shield of New Jersey. Full-time employees are eligible for coverage, as well as their spouse, domestic partner, and dependent children.

Enrollment can occur only when an employee is hired at his/her initial benefit eligibility date, when a qualifying event occurs, or during the annual open enrollment period.

If an employee declines medical coverage due to enrollment in another eligible medical plan, he or she is eligible to enroll in the University's Medical Voluntary Financial Incentive Program.

Employee premium contribution costs vary according to job group type.

The University's medical plan includes a formulary Prescription Plan.

A copy of the Summary Plan Description is available in the Office of Human Resources. Please read our brief summary of the medical coverage available.
