Premiums

These are the full time premiums for January 1, 2026 - June 30, 2026.

The university provides flexible and affordable medical plans with no-cost wellness benefits. Optional vision and dental plans are available for eligible employees, too. You and your campus share the cost of your health plan premiums for medical, dental and vision coverage. Premiums are based on the plan and tier level you choose (e.g., employee only coverage, employee and spouse coverage, employee and children coverage or employee, spouse and children coverage). Premiums may change each year.

Monthly premiums are listed in the tables below. For biweekly rates, visit the UAMS website.
