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 2009, even if your salary changes.
