FAES knows that as an NIH Fellow you’re looking for exceptional benefits, efficient communication and an intuitive and time-saving enrollment process. It’s our goal to offer highly-competitive benefits with premiums less than or equal to the federal rate increase for the current plan year.
FAES offers all Fellows a premium health and vision plan: AETNA Signature Administrators-PPO, a top-tier plan offered by CoreSource as well as MetLife Dental Insurance.
Please refer to the many available resources explaining how your plans work, how your benefits are paid and, most importantly, how to get the most out of your various insurance plans.
