BI’s Article search uses Boolean search capabilities. If you are not familiar with these principles, here are some quick tips.

To search specifically for more than one word, put the search term in quotation marks. For example, “workers compensation”. This will limit your search to that combination of words.

To search for a combination of terms, use quotations and the & symbol. For example, “hurricane” & “loss”.

2023 rise in employer health plan costs likely to continue for several years: Mercer

December 12, 2022 Reprints

Employer-sponsored health costs rose 3.2% on average in 2022 and are expected to rise 5.4% in 2023, according to Mercer, reports Becker’s Payer Issues. Mercer noted that this year's rate increase is below general inflation, which averaged around 8% this year, and because health benefit costs are usually higher than inflation, Mercer predicts larger inflationary effects in the next few years, the report says.
