1 City and County of San Francisco - Health Service System Benchmark Report 2010 Mercer National Survey of Employer-Sponsored Health Plans A special report
2 A special report from the 2010 Mercer National Survey of Employer-Sponsored Health Plans Growth in the average total health benefit cost per employee, which had slowed last year to 5.5%, picked up steam, rising 6.9% to $9,562, the biggest increase since Employers expect high cost increases again in They predicted that cost would rise by about 10% if they made no health program changes, with roughly two percentage points of this increase coming solely from changes mandated by health reform for However, employers expect to hold their actual cost increase to 6.4% by making changes to plan design or changing plan vendors. Employers did a little of everything to hold down cost increases in They raised deductibles and dropped HMOs, which were more costly than PPOs. Large employers especially very large employers added consumer-directed health plans. Just over half of employers with 20,000 or more employees offered a CDHP in 2010, with 15% of their covered employees enrolled in them. The appeal of these plans is clear: HSA-based CDHP coverage costs almost 25% less than PPO coverage. Employers also took steps to improve workforce health by providing employees with financial incentives to use health management programs or to reward healthconscious behavior. With health care reform now a reality, employers were asked how likely they are to drop their health plans once state-run insurance exchanges become operational in 2014 and make it easier for individuals to buy coverage. For the great majority, the answer was not likely. Large employers remain committed to their role of health plan sponsor, with just 6% of those with 500 or more employees saying they are likely to terminate their health plans. While one-fifth of employers with employees say they are likely to drop coverage, this hasn t happened in Massachusetts, where insurance exchanges have been operating under state-based health reform for over three years. Using a scientific random sample and supplemental convenience sample, we collected data from 2,833 employers with 10 or more employees. The national and regional results are based on the random sample only and are weighted to be projectable. However, results for city, state and other special employer groups include the convenience sample and are unweighted. In cases where there are too few data to report, "ID" (insufficient data) appears instead of a figure. NUMBER OF PARTICIPANTS GEOGRAPHIC REGIONS USED IN THIS SURVEY 106 No. Ca , Consulting.

20 DEFINITIONS EMPLOYER PROFILE A consumer-directed health plan eligible for a Health Savings Account is a high-deductible health plan with an employee-controlled account. Employer contributions are optional. Account funds roll over at year end and are portable. A consumer-directed health plan with a Health Reimbursement Account is a health plan with an employerfunded spending account. Account funds may roll over at year end, but are not portable. TOTAL COST, PPO / POS, HMO, HRA, HSA Total health benefit cost is the total gross cost for all medical, dental, prescription drug, MH / SA, vision and hearing benefits for all covered active employees and their dependents divided by the number of enrolled employees. Total gross annual cost includes employee contributions but not employee out-of-pocket expenses. Medical plan cost is the total gross cost for medical plans divided by the number of enrolled employees. Prescription drug, mental health, vision and hearing benefits for all active employees and their covered dependents are included if part of the plan. Dental benefits, even if a part of the plan, are not included in these costs. ELIGIBILITY, ELECTION A mini-med or limited plan is a health insurance plan that provides far lower benefits than the typical comprehensive major medical plan. The annual maximum amount payable typically ranges from $1,000 to $50,000. HEALTH REFORM The 2011 PPACA requirements include coverage for children up to age 26 and the elimination of lifetime and most annual maximums. PPACA s shared responsibility provision will require employers to provide coverage to employees working on average 30 or more hours per week in a month, or else face penalties, starting in Under PPACA's affordable coverage provision, employers must offer at least one health plan for which the employee s premium contribution does not exceed 9.5% of the employee s household income or else be subject to penalties. Starting in 2018, health benefit coverage that costs more than $10,200 for an individual employee or $27,500 for dependent coverage will be subject to a 40% excise tax. SPECIAL COVERAGES The federal 2008 Mental Health Parity and Addiction Equity Act requires that if mental health and substance abuse benefits are offered that they provide the same level of coverage as the medical benefit.
