Graduate Student Health Plan Rates

Boston University has concluded Graduate Student Health Plan rate negotiations with the Department of Health & Human Services for the fiscal year beginning July 1, 2011. The rate agreement is dated February 4, 2011 and approves a rate of 9.0%.

Effective July 1, 2011, the 9.0% Graduate Student Health Plan rate will be applied to the amounts paid to ALL graduates students (object code 0902) supported by continuing awards and new sponsored program awards as well as those supported by endowment, gifts or unrestricted –9 accounts. Previously, this rate was only applied to sponsored awards on the Charles River Campus. Financial Affairs worked closely with Provost Antman to successfully extend this benefit to graduate students on the Medical Campus.
