Early results suggest that federal employees who use health savings accounts or health reimbursement arrangements are more likely than other employees to have high incomes.
About 43% of the 3,900 federal employees who were enrolled in health account plans in the Federal Employee Health Benefits Program in March 2005 had annual incomes over $75,000, compared with an average of just 23% for all plans, according to the researchers at the U.S. Government Accountability Office.
GAO researchers note that members of the “consumer-driven health plans” were not getting much more provider cost or quality information than members of traditional plans.
