According to a recent survey of 349 companies,


84% say they plan to make changes to their pre-age-65 retiree strategies to mitigate the excise tax on high cost employer health plans when it goes into effect in 2018. Of those:

  • 23% favor sourcing coverage through the exchanges under a defined contribution approach
  •  32% favor managing copays, deductibles or using a Health Savings Account (HSA)/High-Deductible Health Plan (HDHP) strategy
  • 19% favor changing retiree premium cost sharing requirements
  • 8% favor eliminating pre-65 coverage completely
