The average deductible for an individual silver-level public exchange plan has increased 7 percent this year, to $2,658.
The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA) exchange plan system uses the unsubsidized price of the second-lowest-priced silver plan as a benchmark for PPACA subsidy programs.
Individual deductible levels have increased 4 percent for individual bronze plans, to $5,248; 6 percent for gold plans, to $1,080; and 23 percent for platinum plans, to $189.
Analysts at Avalere Health have reported those figures in a report based on an analysis of a database that includes information about the qualified health plans (QHPs) sold through the state-based exchanges in California and in New York, and through the exchanges with enrollment programs managed by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS).
