*Why is the Health / Medical Basic Insurance deduction on my pay stub different than the out-of-pocket cost listed on this worksheet?* Premium Sharing is the portion of your benefits that the University pays for and is listed in a separate category on your pay stub. Premium Sharing is a reimbursement and shows up as an addition to your gross pay. The total cost of your coverages show up as deductions. The total cost of your coverages minus Premium Sharing should equal the total at the bottom of this worksheet. Medical Basic Coverage is inclusive of $3,000 Basic Life coverage for retired employees or $10,000 Basic Life coverage and $10,000 Basic Accidental Death and Dismemberment (AD&D) coverage for active employees. Premium Sharing pays for your Basic Life and Basic AD&D coverage along with your Health coverage and a portion of your Dependent Health coverage.
