Coverage Costs
Coverage Costs for Graduate Assistants
The cost (premium) per month is $793.13.
Your account will be charged the base premium of $234.78 at the beginning of each semester.
The remaining monthly balance will be paid as follows:
- The University share of the $743.42 balance is equal to twice your appointment percentage (for example, if you hold a 25% appointment, the University will pay half and you pay the rest ($371.71 per month)
- You will be billed once at the beginning of the semester to your student account
If you hold a 50% appointment, the University will pay the entire $743.42. Percentages are based on how many hours are worked per semester.
Coverage Costs for Graduate Fellows, Trainees, and Postdoctoral Fellows
You may only enroll in the Graduate Assistant Health Plan (GAHP) if your program agrees to pay the full monthly premium, which is $743.42.
Departments will need to add the surcharge of $49.71 per month for the department’s portion of the University’s subsidy of dependent coverage (see Department Authorization Form) for a total of $696.91 per month.
At the beginning of each semester, $234.78 will be charged to your account. This fee is not prorated. Postdoctoral fellows who do not have an account will be required to pay the $234.78 by cash, check, debit, or credit card.
Payments may be made online. A secure email will be sent to your university email address containing the amount due for the current billing period, along with a link to our eStore website.
