Some 164.7 million Americans receive health care benefits through their employers, KFF estimates.
Make sure your providers are still in network.
Check whether your plan is self-funded or fully funded in your plan documents.
Review your medications to see if your plan’s formulary is covered.
Your deductible could have changed even if you re-enrolled in the same benefits this year .
The average deductible for employer-sponsored plans in 2024 was $ 1,787 for single coverage and $ 4,991 for family coverage.
After you hit your deductible, some plans will still require you to cover a certain amount (a copay) or percentage (coinsurance) of each bill.
