Limits of this measure
Annual survey averages in nominal dollars. Private-sector employer coverage only; excludes Marketplace, Medicare and Medicaid plans. Not a personal quote or total medical spending. Deductibles, copays and coinsurance are separate from premiums. Excludes plans without a deductible; this is a plan threshold, not what each patient actually spends.
