Consumer driven health plans continue to grow in popularity despite a waning impact on cost control, according to preliminary results in a recent United Benefits Advisors survey.
From 2009 to 2010, CDHPs increased from 13.9% to 22.9% of plans offered, and now cover more employees than Health Maintenance Organization plans (17.3% vs 11.9%), says Bill Stafford, UBA vice president of member services.
