CAI Releases 2012/2013 NC Healthcare Benefits and Cost Survey Results

▤ Summary

Quotes: “Our member companies are always seeking guidance on the key decisions they must make to maximize benefits dollars for employees while complying with federal and state laws,” said Clarke.Providing employers with the information that is most critical in managing their employee benefits plan, the survey addresses the need for local benchmark data.These employers can be classified in 15 different business groups, the top five being professional, scientific and technical; finance, insurance, real estate, rental and leasing; durable manufacturing; healthcare and social assistance; and non-durable manufacturing.Survey results indicate that traditional premium costs have risen over the past year by 2.5 percent for single coverage and 2.7 percent for family coverage.Specifically, from 2007-2008 to 2012-2013, single plan premiums increased by 27.1 percent and family plan premiums have increased by 28.2 percent.Despite the rising costs, employee and employer contributions to traditional premiums have remained fairly consistent, and more employers have begun to offer the dual option of a traditional and consumer-directed health plan (CDHP).Looking to the future, 60.4 percent of employers expect health care costs to increase over the next year due to healthcare reform, a 7.3 percent decrease from years past.For more information, please call (919) 878-9222 or visit http://www.capital.org.Anjelica CummingsMMI Public Relations(919) 233-6600anjelica@mmipublicrelations.comhttp://twitter.com/MMIPRhttp://www.mmipublicrelations.com Contact Information CAI Patty Briguglio 919-233-6600 Click here to view the list of recent Press Releases from CAI Promote Your Business Press Release Pricing Email this page to a friend
