Book excerpt: This paper presents findings from the 2011 EBRI/MGA Consumer Engagement in Health Care Survey, as well as earlier surveys, examining the availability of health reimbursement arrangement (HRA) and health savings account (HSA)-eligible plans (consumer-driven health plans, or CDHPs). It also looks at employer and individual contribution behavior. According to the 2011 EBRI/MGA Consumer Engagement in Health Care Survey, 8.4 million adults ages 21-64, or 7 percent of the population, was enrolled in a CDHP. An additional 7.3 million reported that they were eligible for an HSA but did not have such an account. Thus, overall, 15.8 million adults ages 21-64 with private insurance, representing 13.1 percent of that market, were either in a CDHP or an HSA-eligible plan but had not opened the account. When their children are counted, about 21 million individuals with private insurance, representing about 12 percent of the market, were either in a CDHP or an HSA-eligible plan. Two-thirds of workers with an HRA or HSA reported that their employer contributed to the account in 2011. Among workers with an employer contribution, those with employee-only coverage saw their annual employer contributions increase between 2006 and 2008, but fall in 2009 and 2011. Between 2006 and 2008, the percentage reporting that their employer contributed $1,000 or more to the account increased from 26 percent to 37 percent. It fell to 32 percent in 2009 and to 24 percent in 2011. The percentage of workers with an employer contribution of $200-$499 increased from 14 percent to 22 percent between 2009 and 2011. Among workers with family coverage, employer contribution levels were unchanged between 2010 and 2011. The percentage reporting a contribution of $1,000 or more was 64 percent in 2011. Individuals' contributions to HSA plans have increased. Between 2006 and 2011, the percentage of individuals with employee-only coverage contributing nothing to an HSA decreased from 28 percent to 11 percent. In contrast, the percentage contributing $1,500 or more increased from 21 percent in 2006 to 44 percent in 2011. Among persons with family coverage, contribution levels were unchanged in 2011, and, in contrast to individual coverage, there are no observed long-term trends toward higher contributions. The percentage not making any contributions was unchanged at 10 percent in 2011. The percentage contributing less than $500 was 9 percent, while the percentage contributing $1,500 or more was 54 percent. A greater percentage of individuals with family coverage than with individual coverage contribute $1,500 or more, which is expected because deductibles are higher for family coverage.

This book was released on 2014 with total page 24 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper presents findings from the 2008-2013 EBRI/Greenwald & Associates Consumer Engagement in Health Care Survey (CEHCS) as well as the 2006 and 2007 EBRI/Commonwealth Fund Consumerism in Health Care Surveys. It examines the availability of health reimbursement arrangements (HRAs) and health savings account (HSA)-eligible plans (consumer-driven health plans, or CDHPs). It also looks at employer and individual contribution behavior. According to the 2013 CEHCS, 11.8 million adults ages 21-64 (9.7 percent of the U.S. population) were enrolled in a plan with an HRA or HSA. An additional 9.3 million reported that they were in an HSA-eligible plan but had not opened such an account. Thus, overall, 21 million adults ages 21-64 with private insurance, representing 17.3 percent of that market, were either in a CDHP or an HSA-eligible plan but had not opened the account. When their children were included, 26.1 million individuals with private insurance, representing 15 percent of the market, were either in a CDHP or an HSA-eligible plan. Seven out of 10 workers (71 percent) with an HRA or HSA reported that their employers contributed to the account in 2013. Workers with employee-only coverage dropped their contributions, but those with family coverage kept their contribution levels steady. The report found a correlation between health engagement and individual contributions to an HSA. Those defined as being engaged in their health reported that they did at least one of the following: checked whether their health plan would cover their care or medication; checked the price of a doctor's visit, medication, or other health care service before receiving care; checked the quality rating of a doctor or hospital before receiving care; talked to their doctor about prescription options, costs, other treatment options and costs; used an online cost tracking tool provided by their health plan to manage health expenses; developed a budget to manage health care expenses; asked for a generic drug instead of a brand name drug; or asked their doctor to recommend a less costly prescription drug. It was found that individuals with some engagement with the health care system contributed higher amounts to their HSA than those with no engagement.

Book excerpt: This paper presents findings from the 2008-2012 EBRI/MGA Consumer Engagement in Health Care Survey (CEHCS) and the 2006 and 2007 EBRI/Commonwealth Fund Consumerism in Health Care Surveys. It examines the availability of health reimbursement arrangements (HRAs) and health savings account (HSA)-eligible plans (consumer-driven health plans, or CDHPs), as well as employer and individual contribution behavior. According to the 2012 CEHCS, 11.6 million adults ages 21-64 (or 7 percent of the population) were enrolled in a plan with an HRA or HSA. An additional 7 million reported that they were covered by an HSA-eligible plan but had not opened such an account. Thus, overall, 18.6 million adults ages 21-64 with private insurance, representing 15.4 percent of that market, were either in a CDHP or an HSA-eligible plan but had not opened the account that would be used to fund covered expenses. When their children were counted, 25.2 million individuals with private insurance, representing 14.6 percent of the market, were either in a CDHP or an HSA-eligible plan. Seven out of 10 workers (69 percent) with an HRA or HSA reported that their employers contributed to the account in 2012. The percentage of workers with an HRA or HSA plan whose employers contributed to the account has been steadily increasing since 2009. Workers with employee-only coverage did not increase their own contributions in 2012, but those with family coverage did. The report found a correlation between health engagement and individual contributions to an HSA. Those defined as being engaged in their health reported that they did at least one of the following: checked whether their health plan would cover their care or medication; checked the price of a doctor's visit, medication, or other health care service before receiving care; checked the quality rating of a doctor or hospital before receiving care; talked to their doctor about prescription options, costs, other treatment options and costs; used an online cost tracking tool provided by their health plan to manage health expenses; developed a budget to manage health care expenses; asked for a generic drug instead of a brand name drug; or asked their doctor to recommend a less costly prescription drug. It was found that individuals with some engagement with the health care system contributed higher amounts to their HSA than those with no engagement. In 2012, 48 percent of those with no engagement with the health care system contributed $1,500 or more, whereas 55 percent of those with some engagement with the health care system contributed $1,500 or more.

Book excerpt: This paper presents findings from the 2014 EBRI/Greenwald & Associates Consumer Engagement in Health Care Survey (CEHCS), as well as earlier surveys, examining the availability of health reimbursement arrangements (HRAs) and health-savings-account (HSA)-eligible plans (consumer-driven health plans, or CDHPs). It also looks at employer and individual contribution behavior. According to the 2014 CEHCS, 15 percent of the population was enrolled in a CDHP, representing about 26 million individuals with private insurance. Among the 15 percent of individuals enrolled in a CDHP, 57 percent (or 9.3 million) had an HRA or had opened an HSA, while 43 percent were enrolled in an HSA-eligible health plan but had not opened an HSA. The percentage of workers reporting that their employers contribute to the account decreased in 2014 for the first time since 2009. Workers' contributions to their HSAs decreased slightly in 2014. The survey found a correlation between health engagement and individual contributions to an HSA. Those defined as being engaged in their health reported that they did at least one of the following: checked whether their health plan would cover their care or medication; checked the price of a doctor's visit, medication, or other health care service before receiving care; checked the quality rating of a doctor or hospital before receiving care; talked to their doctor about prescription options, costs, other treatment options and costs; used an online cost tracking tool provided by their health plan to manage health expenses; developed a budget to manage health care expenses; asked for a generic drug instead of a brand name drug; or asked their doctor to recommend a less costly prescription drug.

Book excerpt: This paper presents findings from the 2010 EBRI/MGA Consumer Engagement in Health Care Survey, as well as earlier surveys, examining the availability of health reimbursement arrangement (HRA) and health savings account (HSA)-eligible plans (consumer-driven health plans, or CDHPs). It also looks at employer and individual contribution behavior. According to the 2010 EBRI/MGA Consumer Engagement in Health Care Survey, about 5.7 million adults ages 21-64 with private health insurance, or 5 percent of the adult population with private health insurance, were enrolled in an HRA or had a high-deductible plan with an HSA in 2010, up from 4 percent in 2009. An additional 6.3 million adults ages 21-64 with private health insurance, or 4.5 percent, reported that they were eligible for an HSA but did not have such an account. Thus, overall, 12.1 million adults ages 21-64 with private insurance, representing 9.5 percent of that market, were either in a CDHP or a high-deductible plan that was eligible for an HSA, but had not opened an account. Among workers with an employer contribution, those with employee-only coverage saw their annual employer contributions increase between 2006 and 2008, but fall in 2009 and 2010. Between 2006 and 2008, the percentage reporting that their employer contributed $1,000 or more to the account increased from 26 percent to 37 percent. It fell to 32 percent in 2009 and to 28 percent in 2010. The percentage of workers with an employer contribution of $200-$499 increased from 14 percent to 17 percent between 2009 and 2010, although the increase was not statistically significant. Among workers with family coverage, employer contribution levels decreased as well in 2010. The percentage reporting a contribution of $500-$749 increased from 6 percent to 12 percent between 2009 and 2010, while the percentage reporting a contribution of $1,000 or more decreased from 73 percent to 61 percent. However, a majority of workers with family coverage continued to receive a contribution of $1,000 or more. Individuals' contributions to HSA plans have increased. Between 2006 and 2009, the percentage of individuals with employee-only coverage contributing nothing to an HSA decreased from 28 percent to 12 percent. It increased to 15 percent in 2010 but the change was not statistically significant. In contrast, the percentage contributing between $1,000 and $1,499 increased from 12 percent in 2009 to 18 percent in 2010, while the percentage contributing $1,500 or more remained at 37 percent. Among persons with family coverage, the percentage not making any contributions was unchanged at 12 percent in 2010. The percentage contributing less than $500 was 8 percent, while the percentage contributing $1,500 or more was 50 percent. Individuals with family coverage are expected to contribute more than individuals with employee-only coverage because deductibles are higher for family coverage. The PDF for the above title, published in the March 2011 issue of EBRI Notes, also contains the fulltext of another March 2011 EBRI Notes article abstracted on SSRN: “The Impact of Modifying the Exclusion of Employee Contributions for Retirement Savings Plans From Taxable Income: Results from the 2011 Retirement Confidence Survey.”

Book excerpt: Employer's Tax Guide (Circular E) - The Families First Coronavirus Response Act (FFCRA), enacted on March 18, 2020, and amended by the COVID-related Tax Relief Act of 2020, provides certain employers with tax credits that reimburse them for the cost of providing paid sick and family leave wages to their employees for leave related to COVID‐19. Qualified sick and family leave wages and the related credits for qualified sick and family leave wages are only reported on employment tax returns with respect to wages paid for leave taken in quarters beginning after March 31, 2020, and before April 1, 2021, unless extended by future legislation. If you paid qualified sick and family leave wages in 2021 for 2020 leave, you will claim the credit on your 2021 employment tax return. Under the FFCRA, certain employers with fewer than 500 employees provide paid sick and fam-ily leave to employees unable to work or telework. The FFCRA required such employers to provide leave to such employees after March 31, 2020, and before January 1, 2021. Publication 15 (For use in 2021)

Book excerpt: In the United States, some populations suffer from far greater disparities in health than others. Those disparities are caused not only by fundamental differences in health status across segments of the population, but also because of inequities in factors that impact health status, so-called determinants of health. Only part of an individual's health status depends on his or her behavior and choice; community-wide problems like poverty, unemployment, poor education, inadequate housing, poor public transportation, interpersonal violence, and decaying neighborhoods also contribute to health inequities, as well as the historic and ongoing interplay of structures, policies, and norms that shape lives. When these factors are not optimal in a community, it does not mean they are intractable: such inequities can be mitigated by social policies that can shape health in powerful ways. Communities in Action: Pathways to Health Equity seeks to delineate the causes of and the solutions to health inequities in the United States. This report focuses on what communities can do to promote health equity, what actions are needed by the many and varied stakeholders that are part of communities or support them, as well as the root causes and structural barriers that need to be overcome.

Book excerpt: The Social Security Administration (SSA) administers two programs that provide benefits based on disability: the Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) program and the Supplemental Security Income (SSI) program. This report analyzes health care utilizations as they relate to impairment severity and SSA's definition of disability. Health Care Utilization as a Proxy in Disability Determination identifies types of utilizations that might be good proxies for "listing-level" severity; that is, what represents an impairment, or combination of impairments, that are severe enough to prevent a person from doing any gainful activity, regardless of age, education, or work experience.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The population of Asia is growing both larger and older. Demographically the most important continent on the world, Asia's population, currently estimated to be 4.2 billion, is expected to increase to about 5.9 billion by 2050. Rapid declines in fertility, together with rising life expectancy, are altering the age structure of the population so that in 2050, for the first time in history, there will be roughly as many people in Asia over the age of 65 as under the age of 15. It is against this backdrop that the Division of Behavioral and Social Research at the U.S. National Institute on Aging (NIA) asked the National Research Council (NRC), through the Committee on Population, to undertake a project on advancing behavioral and social research on aging in Asia. Aging in Asia: Findings from New and Emerging Data Initiatives is a peer-reviewed collection of papers from China, India, Indonesia, Japan, and Thailand that were presented at two conferences organized in conjunction with the Chinese Academy of Sciences, Indian National Science Academy, Indonesian Academy of Sciences, and Science Council of Japan; the first conference was hosted by the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences in Beijing, and the second conference was hosted by the Indian National Science Academy in New Delhi. The papers in the volume highlight the contributions from new and emerging data initiatives in the region and cover subject areas such as economic growth, labor markets, and consumption; family roles and responsibilities; and labor markets and consumption.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Today Singapore ranks sixth in the world in healthcare outcomes well ahead of many developed countries, including the United States. The results are all the more significant as Singapore spends less on healthcare than any other high-income country, both as measured by fraction of the Gross Domestic Product spent on health and by costs per person. Singapore achieves these results at less than one-fourth the cost of healthcare in the United States and about half that of Western European countries. Government leaders, presidents and prime ministers, finance ministers and ministers of health, policymakers in congress and parliament, public health officials responsible for healthcare systems planning, finance and operations, as well as those working on healthcare issues in universities and think-tanks should know how this system works to achieve affordable excellence."--Publisher's website.

All differ in some way because they are heavily shaped by the nature and performance of publicly financed health systems and by the contexts in which they have evolved. This volume contains short structured profiles of markets for VHI in 34 countries in Europe. These are drawn from European Union member states plus Armenia Iceland Georgia Norway the Russian Federation Switzerland and Ukraine. The book is aimed at policy-makers and researchers interested in knowing more about how VHI works in practice in a wide range of contexts. Each profile written by one or more local experts identifies gaps in publicly-financed health coverage describes the role VHI plays outlines the way in which the market for VHI operates summarises public policy towards VHI including major developments over time and highlights national debates and challenges. The book is part of a study on VHI in Europe prepared jointly by the European Observatory on Health Systems and Policies and the WHO Regional Office for Europe. A companion volume provides an analytical overview of VHI markets across the 34 countries.

Book excerpt: The report investigates the characteristics of workplace wellness programs, their prevalence and impact on employee health and medical cost, facilitators of their success, and the role of incentives in such programs. The authors employ four data collection and analysis streams: a literature review, a survey of employers, a longitudinal analysis of medical claims and wellness program data from a sample of employers, and five employer case studies.
