Generally, Domestic Partner Insurance can be provided to unmarried couples living together in a committed relationship to their place of residence and shared financial responsibilities. Insurance coverage is provided for same-sex couples differently or who live together and have the advantage of reducing the cost of providing insurance.

Many universities offer health insurance benefits for these people. Under the program, a student can enroll her partner and dependent children of domestic partner health insurance generally available to full-time students. Except for eligibility to participate, the same general rules (for example, the sharing of costs and entitlements) apply to domestic partners and their dependent children as well as other participants in the health insurance plans.
