After enrollment in high-deductible health plans soared during the last decade, 2022 marked the first year that enrollment in these plans fell among American workers since 2013, according to a new report. There are signs that employees are growing weary of high out-of-pocket expenses associated with HDHPs and are more willing to pay a little extra in premium in exchange for lower deductibles, copays and coinsurance. Here's what's going on. https://bit.ly/3K6unS2

The organization that helps set workers' compensation rates in California will recommend that benchmark rates increase 0.9%, with effect from Sept. 1, 2024. While the recommendation is less than 1%, the Workers' Compensation Insurance Rating Bureau noted that it was driven by increasing medical costs for injured workers and higher claims-adjusting costs for insurers. The Rating Bureau's governing committee approved the rate change recommendation, which will be sent to the state insurance commissioner, who can either approve it or order another rate adjustment. https://bit.ly/3UQWauL
