This retiree medical benefits survey examines attitudes, trends and strategies among multiemployer plans. Multiemployer administrators responded to 45 questions that explore the extent to which the benefit is offered, how it is funded and administered, cost and coverage trends, cost management strategies and future expectations. |
The survey findings are conveniently organized into the following sections:
- Plan design and funding
- Plan benefits and coverage
- Administration
- Cost management
- Trends
- Prescription drugs
- Fund demographics
In addition, insightful case studies walk the reader through three approaches to cost control: using the income security fund to help retirees pay self-payment premiums, using a defined contribution approach and limiting coverage. Over 40 charts and graphs illustrate the findings.
