Insights From Mercer’s Annual Survey

Here are a few insights from Mercer’s Annual Survey of Employee-Sponsored Health Plans:

1 – Less than 1% of all employers have provisions where smokers pay more (but 15% of employers with over 10,000 employees have such provisions).
2 – 32% of large employers off on-site or near-site clinics. (WOW! That surprised me.)
3 – 8% of large employers have provisions preventing coverage of spouses who have other coverage.
4 – A $1,000 health plan deductible is the norm.
