Health Benefit Cost Per Employee Will Rise By 4.6% In 2015


According to the National Survey of Employer-Sponsored Health Plans (conducted annually by Mercer):

  • Employers held down growth in the average per-employee cost of health benefits to 3.9% in 2014.
  • Total health benefit cost averaged $11,204 per employee in 2014.
  • Without plan benefit changes, the estimated 2015 cost would rise by average of 7.1%.
  • 3% of large employers moved to a private exchange in 2014.

Note: Mercer's nationally projectable annual survey includes public and private organizations with 10 or more employees; 2,569 employers responded in 2014.
