[MARCH 13, 2006]
Leading area employee benefits firm R.W.
Garrett Agency recently announced the release of an unprecedented
survey initiative that will provide invaluable benchmarks for
employer-sponsored health plans, based upon number of employees,
industry and region. The survey is co-sponsored by
United Benefit Advisors,
an alliance of 137 of the nation's premier independent benefit
advisory firms.

"With over 12,000 health plans
included in last year's report, the UBA Health Plan Survey is
unprecedented in terms of the number of companies participating,"
said Nancy Schaub, director of agency services. "Other surveys have
often delivered data of limited use to employers due to
traditionally small sample sizes, ranging from a few hundred to less
than 3,000 total responses nationally. In order to provide employers
with truly actionable benchmarks, we are using our national scope to
generate the largest health plan design and plan cost database in
the industry."
The annual UBA surveys provide the nation's employers with a
single source to address their most critical benefits benchmarking
needs. The resulting savings in employer time from participating in
a single set of surveys, as well as the improved benchmark data and
drill-down capability inherent in a much larger database, will allow
employers to significantly improve their strategic intelligence in
this critical area of their business.
