This is the first report by the Health Care Cost Institute (HCCI) in cooperation with the Green Mountain Care Board (GMCB) about the health care trends of employer-sponsor insured Vermonters (VESI) younger than age 65. The primary aim of the HCCI-GMCB collaboration was to investigate the drivers of VESI health care spending and examine those trends over time. The secondary aim of the collaboration was to compare Vermont findings to the employer sponsored (ESI) population nationally.
The primary aim of the HCCI-GMCB collaboration was to investigate the drivers of VESI health care spending and examine those trends over time. The secondary aim of the collaboration was to compare Vermont findings to the employer sponsored (ESI) population nationally. Therefore, metrics in this report were designed to be comparable to HCCI’s 2012 Health Care Cost and Utilization Report. 1 All national statistics reported in this document come from that report and the underlying dataset associated with it.
