Dear Campus Community,
This year there are changes to the way Composite Benefit Rates (CBR) are calculated and approved. In previous years, we worked directly with the Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) to set the approved rates. Now that we have implemented UCPath, rather than work directly with DHHS, we will follow a standard process for calculating rates led by UCOP and will adopt their agreements with the federal government.
