EBRI Finds Continued Growth in Consumer Driven Health Plans (CDHPs)

In "Findings from the 2013 EBRI/Greenwald & Associates Consumer Engagement in Health Care Survey", the Employee Benefit Research Institute reports that:

"The 2013 EBRI/Greenwald & Associates Consumer Engagement in Health Care Survey (CEHCS) finds continued slow growth in consumer-driven health plans (CDHPs): 9.7 percent of the population was enrolled in a CDHP, up from 9.6 percent in 2012, while enrollment in high-deductible health plans (HDHPs) increased from 16 percent in 2012 to 18 percent in 2013. Overall, 26.1 million individuals with private insurance, representing 15 percent of that market, were either in a CDHP, or in an HDHP that was eligible for a health savings account (HSA) but had not opened the account."
