The Kaiser Family Foundation is in the 22nd year of conducting its Employer Health Benefits Survey, which provides detailed information on employer health plan costs and designs. This presentation will review findings from the 2020 survey, including trends in premiums, employee contributions, cost-sharing provisions, offer rates, wellness programs, and employer practices. This year's survey was conducted from January to July and does not capture the full impact of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, so we will also touch on considerations the pandemic has raised regarding the future of employer coverage.

Our guest speaker will be:
