Health Care Increased for Employers and Employees 6.3% in 2013
Park City, UT (PRWEB) June 24, 2013
Today, Zane Benefits, Inc. published new information on the cost of employer-sponsored health care in 2013.
According to Zane Benefits’ website, a recent study by Milliman Medical Inc. provided a unique snapshot of health care costs for an average family of four covered under employer-sponsored health insurance. Instead of just looking at the employer's cost of health insurance or the family's medical expenses, the 2013 MMI takes into account the combined cost of employer-sponsored health care including premiums the employer pays to cover the family, premiums the employee pays for the coverage, and out-of-pocket expenses the employee pays for medical care.
According to Zane Benefits’ website, key findings from the 2013 MMI:
· Cost of health care increases 6.3% for a family of four
· Costs of health care shifts to employees
· The employee's costs are split between premium-sharing ($5,544) and out-of-pocket expenses such as co-pays, deductible expenses, pharmacy, etc. ($3,600).
· Compared to other household expenditures, the employee's average annual contribution ($9,144) now exceeds the cost of groceries for a family of four ($8,388 on average).
According to Zane Benefits’ website, health care reform will do little to curb increasing health care costs.
