Corresponding with:

Purpose

Health insurance estimations are based on the percentage of effort the employee will work on a project and can differ depending on the classification of the University employee.

Health insurance covers a 12-month period. Effective in Summer 2018, budgeting of health insurance costs on faculty compensation outside of their 9-month appointment (summer salary) may be included in proposals.

Procedure

I. Estimating Fringe Benefits - Non-Clinical Faculty and Licensed Physicians

  • Determine the employee classification annual health insurance rate
  • Then multiply the applicable premium by the percent of proposed effort: $4,293 x 30% = $1,287.90

II. Estimating Health Insurance - Clinical Faculty and Licensed Physicians

  • The School of Medicine (SOM) provides guidelines for applying the appropriate supplemental benefits.
  • For each qualifying individual, add $1,690 to the applicable annual amount: $1,690 + $4,293 = $5,983
  • 45% x $5,983 = $2,692.35 estimated amount for health insurance based on proposed percent of effort.
