The effects of using different treatments of the surface boundary conditions are investigated in the context of the mass of He White Dwarfs. We find that since the White Dwarf progenitor is a star with a very extended atmosphere, the results are sensitive to the degree of accuracy implemented in the handling of the boundary conditions.
