This year's survey gathered results from 16,421 health plans from 10,744 employers -- making it the largest benchmarking survey of employer-sponsored health care plans in the country. The results provided critical national and regional benchmarks that enabled companies to compare their plans alongside those of peers and competitors.

While past surveys have primarily targeted large employers, the focus of the UBA survey is to report results that are applicable to the small and mid-size companies who represent the overwhelming majority of the nation's employers. With employer health plan information reported for over 3,100 cities from 48 states and the District of Columbia, differences in plan design and plan costs between various regions and industry groups become apparent.
