Payments for Cost Sharing Increasing Rapidly Over Time
Kaiser Family Foundation Apr. 14, 2016 "From 2004 to 2014, the average payments by enrollees towards deductibles rose 256% from $99 to $353, and the average payments towards coinsurance rose 107%, from $117 to $242, while average payments for copays fell by 26%, from $206 to $152. Overall, patient cost-sharing rose by 77%, from an average of $422 in 2004 to $747 in 2014. During that period, average payments by health plans rose 58%, from $2,748 to $4,354. This reflects a modest decline in the average generosity of insurance -- large employer plans covered 86.7% of covered medical expenses on average in 2004, decreasing to 85.3% in 2014. Workers' wages, meanwhile, rose by 32% from 2004 to 2014." |
