Analytics

Does your broker provide reliable health care benchmark data?

Have All the Facts: Benchmarking data from the UBA Health Plan Survey can help you gauge a wide range of factors regarding your health plan offerings, such as:

  • Are company premiums above or below the norm?
  • Are the levels of contributions you require your employees to pay in line with our competitors?
  • Are copays, deductibles, coinsurance and out-of-pocket maximums for your plans in line with averages for your geography, industry and size?
  • How do your annual premium increases compare with other employers in your area?
  • How do your prescription drug benefits compare?
  • Are you in step with the cost-containment strategies being implemented successfully by other companies in our industry?

The Nation’s Largest Survey: The UBA Health Plan Survey is the nation’s largest and most comprehensive survey of U.S. health plans, with validated responses of more than 16,000 health plans sponsored by nearly 11,000 employers, consisting of nearly 5 million lives.
