We understand that employers want to provide health care benefits that meet their employees' needs and offer the best value. In 2012, metroplex employers spent an average of $11,214 per employee annually for health care benefits, a 3.4% increase over 2011 costs. Costs in 2013 are expected to increase by 6.2%. Employees' out-of-pocket share will climb to $3,001 on average in 2013.*
Leaders of change in healthcare
Bringing together leaders and decision makers from a variety of
businesses, the DFW Business Group on Health is a regional, employer-sponsored
healthcare coalition.
