Report of employer-sponsored health plans survey released

The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act of 2010 directs the Secretary of Labor to conduct a survey of employer-sponsored health plans to determine the benefits typically covered by employers, and to report the results of the survey to the Secretary of Health and Human Services. This study was conducted to supplement the medical benefit provisions regularly published as part of the National Compensation Survey’s (NCS) employee benefits program.

The full version of the report is available at www.bls.gov/ncs/ebs/sp/selmedbensreport.pdf. Links to this report and other recent health benefits data are available on the National Compensation Survey web page, www.bls.gov/ncs/ebs/smb_health.htm. The 12 additional medical benefits come from the same sample that yielded data for NCS: Health and Retirement Plan Provisions in Private Industry in the United States, 2009, at www.bls.gov/ncs/ebs/detailedprovisions/2009/ebbl0045.pdf.
