Dependent Coverage | 2018 UBA Health Plan Survey Trends

Dependent Coverage | 2018 UBA Health Plan Survey Trends

Dependent enrollment increased significantly, by 35.2%, from 44.3% in 2017 to 59.9% in 2018. This was a reverse of the trend seen in previous years of decreased dependent enrollment. This could signal a trend to watch, as individual or Marketplace premiums rise quickly with the sunset of the Transitional Reinsurance Fee and other risk protections afforded to carriers under the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (ACA).
