About 37% of large and midsize employers now offer health savings account plans or other health account plans, up from 28% in 2006.
Researchers at the consulting arm of Aon Corp., Chicago, and the International Society of Certified Employee Benefit Specialists, Brookfield, Wis., have presented those figures in a summary of results from an informal survey of 470 U.S. employers.
Only 17% of employers with HSA plans, health reimbursement arrangement plans or other health account plans offer a health account plan as the only plan option, but employers that do have health account plans say the health accounts are attracting more employees, the researchers report.
About 60% of participating employers with health account plans say the health account options have attracted more than 10% of the employees, up from 53% in 2006, the researchers write.
