Domestic Partner for Health insurance

My company is allowing me to add my boyfriend to my health insurance as a domestic Partner. He got a new job but they don't offer the same insurance he previously had and he is in the middle of a procedure and would be really stressful finding a new doctor in the middle. I happen to have the same insurance he previously had but at my own company. We lived together 2 years now so that's why my company recommended I add them as a domestic partner so he can be covered under my health insurance.. They explained that I would be taxed differently on my paycheck for his portion which I understand. But I am wondering if this will also change how I file for taxes later on? I haven't finished the paperwork yet because I am hoping to get some more answers.  I keep seeing different things on google. Like we need to be registered as domestic partners--but the insurance document given to me didn't list that as a requirement.
