GW employees' medical insurance contributions will increase as the University changes its health insurance plan administrator in January.
Faculty and staff health insurance contributions will rise by 6.5 percent, resulting in an increase of $3 to $61 more per month, depending on coverage level and salary band.
The University will switch its employee health insurance administrator from UnitedHealthcare to Aetna at the start of 2026, a move experts say may curb sharper cost increases but may disrupt care for employees whose providers fall out of network.
No comment from officials on the exact reason for the switch.
