1 A high deductible health plan (HDHP) is health plan
which typically has a higher deductible and lower premiums
than a traditional health plan. Normally the plan includes
catastrophic coverage to protect against large medical
expenses, but the insured is responsible for routine
out-of-pocket expenses.
2 The categories are based on the average wage for
each occupation surveyed, which may include workers both
above and below the threshold. The average wages are
based on the estimates published in the "National
Compensation Survey: Occupational Earnings in the United
States, 2008." See Technical Note for more details.
NOTE: Because of rounding, sums of individual items may
not equal totals. Dashes indicate that no data were
reported or that data do not meet publication criteria. For
definitions of major plans, key provisions, and related
terms, see the "Glossary of Employee Benefit Terms" at
www.bls.gov/ncs/ebs/glossary20092010.htm.

1 The deductible is the amount of covered expenses that an individual or family
must pay before any charges are paid by the medical care plan. Deductibles that apply
separately to a specific category of expenses, such as deductible for each hospital
admission, were excluded.

deductible and lower premiums than a traditional health plan. Normally the plan
includes catastrophic coverage to protect against large medical expenses, but the

1 The deductible is the amount of covered expenses that an individual or
family must pay before any charges are paid by the medical care plan.
Deductibles that apply separately to a specific category of expenses, such as
deductible for each hospital admission, were excluded.
2 A high deductible health plan (HDHP) is health plan which typically has a
higher deductible and lower premiums than a traditional health plan. Normally the
plan includes catastrophic coverage to protect against large medical expenses,
but the insured is responsible for routine out-of-pocket expenses.
3 Less than 0.05.
4 The categories are based on the average wage for each occupation

1 The deductible is the amount of covered expenses that an individual or family must pay before
any charges are paid by the medical care plan. Deductibles that apply separately to a specific
category of expenses, such as deductible for each hospital admission, were excluded.
2 Less than 0.05.
3 The categories are based on the average wage for each occupation surveyed, which may
include workers both above and below the threshold. The average wages are based on the
estimates published in the "National Compensation Survey: Occupational Earnings in the United
States, 2008." See Technical Note for more details.
NOTE: Dashes indicate that no data were reported or that data do not meet publication criteria. For
definitions of major plans, key provisions, and related terms, see the "Glossary of Employee Benefit
Terms" at www.bls.gov/ncs/ebs/glossary20092010.htm.

1 The deductible is the amount of covered expenses that an individual or family must pay before
any charges are paid by the medical care plan. Deductibles that apply separately to a specific
category of expenses, such as deductible for each hospital admission, were excluded.
2 Represents the initial coinsurance in plans that have 100 percent coverage after the individual
pays a specified dollar amount toward expenses. For example, the plan pays 80 percent until the
individual’s out-of-pocket expenses reach $1,000, and then coverage is 100 percent.
3 The out-of-pocket maximum is the annual limit on the amount of covered expenses that a
participant or a family must pay after the deductible has been satisfied. Once reached, covered
expenses are fully reimbursed for the rest of the year.
4 Less than 0.5 percent.
5 The categories are based on the average wage for each occupation surveyed, which may
include workers both above and below the threshold. The average wages are based on the estimates
published in the "National Compensation Survey: Occupational Earnings in the United States, 2008."
See Technical Note for more details.
NOTE: Because of rounding, sums of individual items may not equal totals. Dashes indicate that no
data were reported or that data do not meet publication criteria. For definitions of major plans, key
provisions, and related terms, see the "Glossary of Employee Benefit Terms" at

1 The deductible is the amount of covered expenses that an individual or family must pay before any charges are
paid by the medical care plan. Deductibles that apply separately to a specific category of expenses, such as
deductible for each hospital admission, were excluded.
2 Less than 0.5 percent.
3 The categories are based on the average wage for each occupation surveyed, which may include workers both
above and below the threshold. The average wages are based on the estimates published in the "National
Compensation Survey: Occupational Earnings in the United States, 2008." See Technical Note for more details.
NOTE: Because of rounding, sums of individual items may not equal totals. Dashes indicate that no data were
reported or that data do not meet publication criteria. For definitions of major plans, key provisions, and related terms,
see the "Glossary of Employee Benefit Terms" at www.bls.gov/ncs/ebs/glossary20092010.htm.

1 The deductible is the amount of covered expenses that an individual or family must pay before any
charges are paid by the medical care plan. Deductibles that apply separately to a specific category of
expenses, such as deductible for each hospital admission, were excluded.
2 Less than 0.5 percent.
3 The categories are based on the average wage for each occupation surveyed, which may include
workers both above and below the threshold. The average wages are based on the estimates published in
the "National Compensation Survey: Occupational Earnings in the United States, 2008." See Technical
Note for more details.
NOTE: Because of rounding, sums of individual items may not equal totals. Dashes indicate that no data
were reported or that data do not meet publication criteria. For definitions of major plans, key provisions,
and
related

1 The deductible is the amount of covered expenses that an individual or family must pay before any charges are
paid by the medical care plan. Deductibles that apply separately to a specific category of expenses, such as deductible
for each hospital admission, were excluded.
2 Less than 0.5 percent.
3 The categories are based on the average wage for each occupation surveyed, which may include workers both
above and below the threshold. The average wages are based on the estimates published in the "National
Compensation Survey: Occupational Earnings in the United States, 2008." See Technical Note for more details.
NOTE: Because of rounding, sums of individual items may not equal totals. Dashes indicate that no data were
reported or that data do not meet publication criteria. For definitions of major plans, key provisions, and related terms,
see the "Glossary of Employee Benefit Terms" at www.bls.gov/ncs/ebs/glossary20092010.htm.

1 The deductible is the amount of covered expenses that an individual or family must pay before any
charges are paid by the medical care plan. Deductibles that apply separately to a specific category of
expenses, such as deductible for each hospital admission, were excluded.
2 Less than 0.5 percent.
3 The categories are based on the average wage for each occupation surveyed, which may include
workers both above and below the threshold. The average wages are based on the estimates published in
the "National Compensation Survey: Occupational Earnings in the United States, 2008." See Technical
Note for more details.

1 Represents the initial coinsurance in plans that have 100 percent coverage after the individual
pays a specified dollar amount toward expenses. For example, the plan pays 80 percent until the
individual’s out-of-pocket expenses reach $1,000, and then coverage is 100 percent.
2 The categories are based on the average wage for each occupation surveyed, which may
include workers both above and below the threshold. The average wages are based on the
estimates published in the "National Compensation Survey: Occupational Earnings in the United
States, 2008." See Technical Note for more details.
NOTE: Because of rounding, sums of individual items may not equal totals. Dashes indicate that no
data were reported or that data do not meet publication criteria. For definitions of major plans, key
provisions, and related terms, see the "Glossary of Employee Benefit Terms" at
www.bls.gov/ncs/ebs/glossary20092010.htm.

1 The deductible is the amount of covered expenses that an individual or family must pay before
any charges are paid by the medical care plan. Deductibles that apply separately to a specific
category of expenses, such as deductible for each hospital admission, were excluded.
2 Represents the initial coinsurance in plans that have 100 percent coverage after the individual
pays a specified dollar amount toward expenses. For example, the plan pays 80 percent until the
individual’s out-of-pocket expenses reach $1,000, and then coverage is 100 percent.
3 The out-of-pocket maximum is the annual limit on the amount of covered expenses that a
participant or a family must pay after the deductible has been satisfied. Once reached, covered
expenses are fully reimbursed for the rest of the year.
4 Less than 0.5 percent.
5 The categories are based on the average wage for each occupation surveyed, which may
include workers both above and below the threshold. The average wages are based on the estimates
published in the "National Compensation Survey: Occupational Earnings in the United States, 2008."
See Technical Note for more details.
NOTE: Because of rounding, sums of individual items may not equal totals. Dashes indicate that no
data were reported or that data do not meet publication criteria. For definitions of major plans, key
provisions, and related terms, see the "Glossary of Employee Benefit Terms" at
www.bls.gov/ncs/ebs/glossary20092010.htm.

1 Sum of individual items may be greater than total because multiple plans or methods of
contribution are available to some employees.
2 Plans that combine features of traditional Roth IRA plans and 401(k) plans. Under these plans
employees are allowed to have part or all of their retirement plan contributions be subject to all the same
post-tax treatment as under a Roth IRA plan.
3 The categories are based on the average wage for each occupation surveyed, which may include
workers both above and below the threshold. The average wages are based on the estimates published
in the "National Compensation Survey: Occupational Earnings in the United States, 2008." See
Technical Note for more details.

and 401(k) plans. Under these plans employees are allowed to
have part or all of their retirement plan contributions be subject to
all the same post-tax treatment as under a Roth IRA plan.
2 The employer that sponsors the plan automatically enrolls
employees in the plan at a specified rate of contribution (e.g., 3
percent of earnings), unless the employee opts out of the plan.
3 The categories are based on the average wage for each
occupation surveyed, which may include workers both above and
below the threshold. The average wages are based on the
estimates published in the "National Compensation Survey:
Occupational Earnings in the United States, 2008." See Technical

1 Plans that combine features of traditional Roth IRA plans
and 401(k) plans. Under these plans employees are allowed to
have part or all of their retirement plan contributions be subject to
all the same post-tax treatment as under a Roth IRA plan.
2 The employer that sponsors the plan automatically enrolls
employees in the plan at a specified rate of contribution (e.g., 3
percent of earnings), unless the employee opts out of the plan.
3 Less than 0.05.
4 The categories are based on the average wage for each
occupation surveyed, which may include workers both above and
below the threshold. The average wages are based on the
estimates published in the "National Compensation Survey:
Occupational Earnings in the United States, 2008." See Technical
Note for more details.
NOTE: Dashes indicate that no data were reported or that data
do not meet publication criteria. For definitions of major plans,
key provisions, and related terms, see the "Glossary of Employee
Benefit Terms" at www.bls.gov/ncs/ebs/glossary20092010.htm.
