In case you hadn't heard, Vimo releases great industry reports from time to time. Our VP of Partners, Tom Cochrane, has just released our most recent report HSA Funding: Are Health Care Consumers Leaving Money on the Table? It warns that low corporate contributions to health savings accounts threaten the CDHP model.
The report reveals a significant gap between the number of people enrolled in high deductible health plans and the number of people that hold a Health Savings Account. The report also shows that funds on deposit in the average HSA are roughly half of what is required to cover the typical health plan deductible for these consumers. Both findings hint at disturbing trends that may jeopardize the "Consumer-Driven Health" movement.
