[September 17, 2008]

Below you’ll find links to employee medical plan premiums for 2008*.  These premiums are the result of UC’s efforts to evaluate medical plans and negotiate the best possible rates for university employees and retirees.  As a result, many employees and retirees will see a decrease in medical plan rates from 2007 to 2008, and the majority will see no more than an 8.4% increase in their monthly medical premiums.  These rates represent the continuing progress being made toward the Regents’ goal of market-competitive total compensation for all UC personnel within the next several years under RE-61. More information on total compensation for 2008 can be found here.

Your medical plan monthly cost depends on the plan and the coverage you choose, as well as your Medical Contribution Base (MCB). The MCB, which is derived from your payroll information, is part of the University's strategy to maintain choice and affordability of health plans. Medical plan rates are tiered (based on your MCB) so that the cost you pay for medical insurance is somewhat proportional to your pay rate. Your MCB will not change during 2008, even if your salary changes.

* Rates shown indicate only proposed rates for union-represented employees and are subject to ongoing collective bargaining as appropriate.
