UBA tools & services

UBA SURVEY
UBA Members and their clients help produce an annual health plan benchmarking survey that includes responses from nearly 18,000 health plans sponsored by nearly 13,000 employers nationwide. It is by far the most comprehensive, validated survey of medical plan design and plan costs ever conducted. The UBA Health Plan Survey provides small to midsize employers with valuable benchmarking data that previously were only available to large corporations. By using this data, advisors who are Members of UBA can help employers more accurately evaluate costs, contrast the current benefit plan’s effectiveness against competitors’ plans and adjust accordingly.
