| ‡ | Three percent of workers enrolled in HDHP/HRAs have employers that reported no out-of-pocket maximum for both single and family coverage. These workers are excluded from the HDHP/HRA out-of-pocket maximum liability calculation. The deductible and out-of-pocket maximum averages shown for both the HDHP/HRA and the HSA qualified HDHP for family coverage are for covered workers whose firms report that they face an aggregate amount. Among covered workers in HDHP/HRAs, 14% are in plans whose family deductible is a separate per person amount and 18% report that the family amount for out-of-pocket maximum is a separate per person amount. Among covered workers in HSA qualified HDHPs, the percentages are 3% for deductibles and 3% for out-of-pocket maximum. | | | | | Note: For definitions of HDHP/HRAs and HSA qualified HDHPs, see the introduction to Section 8. | | | | | Source: Kaiser/HRET Survey of Employer-Sponsored Health Benefits, 2006. | | | | | For more information regarding survey methodology, click here to view the Survey Design and Methods section. |
