Posted 10.08.20
Each year, the Kaiser Family Foundation conducts a survey to examine employer-sponsored health benefits trends.
Some specific highlights of the survey include:
- In 2020, the average premium rose by 4% for both single coverage and family coverage.
- The average worker contribution toward the premium was 17% for single coverage and 27% for family coverage.
- The average annual deductible has increased by 25% over the past five years and nearly 80% over the past decade.
- Beyond deductibles, the vast majority of workers cover some portion of the costs from their health care services. For example, 65% of covered workers have coinsurance, and 13% have a copay for hospital admissions.
