Quality of Health Care After Adopting a Full-Replacement, High-Deductible Health Plan with a Health Savings Account: A Five-Year Study (PDF)
Employee Benefit Research Institute [EBRI] Sept. 16, 2014
"This study reports use of health care services related to health care quality over five years ... [at] a single large employer ... that adopted an HSA-eligible health plan for all employees. It represents one of the longest observation periods reported with a full-replacement CDHP, and it is one of the few studies with a matched control group. The introduction of the HSA-eligible health plan had a negative impact on office visits for annual physicals, well-child visits, and preventive visits in the year that the plan was adopted. In the second year, office visits increased for HSA-eligible health plan enrollees, but were mostly unchanged for the comparison group. By the fourth year in the HSA-eligible health plan, office visits for annual physicals, well-child visits, and preventive visits were down slightly relative to the comparison group."
