Your share of the cost is the difference between the total cost of coverage and the amount that Boston University pays. The total cost of coverage is different for each option.
Costs are subject to change at the beginning of each plan year.
Also, the University may change the percentage of the cost that it will pay. See the 2000-01 Contributions chart for more information. How Health Plan Contributions Are Paid Your share of the cost of health care coverage is paid with before-tax dollars. This means that Boston University automatically reduces your pay by the amount of your payments before federal income taxes, state income taxes and Social Security taxes are taken out. Under current income tax rules, this lowers your income for tax purposes.
