Health insurers reporting double-digit cost increases.

The Chicago Tribune (4/26, Wernau) reports, "Employee-sponsored health plans are seeing a double-digit increase in the cost of claims, an early indication that insurance costs could rise at a similar rate," according a survey conducted by Wells Fargo Insurance Services. The nationwide survey of approximately "60 insurance companies" found that HMOs and point-of-sale plans saw a "9.6-percent increase"; PPOs and consumer driven health plans saw a "10-percent increase"; and prescription-drug plans "increased 8.7 percent." Insurance companies said that the higher costs "were a reflection of healthcare reform provisions, an aging US population, improvements in medical technology and drug therapies," and the use of specialty drugs, among other factors.
