National Vaccine Injury Compensation
Program: Revised Amount of the
Average Cost of a Health Insurance
Policy
The Health Resources and Services
Administration is publishing an
updated monetary amount of the
average cost of a health insurance policy
as it relates to the National Vaccine
Injury Compensation Program (VICP).
Section 100.2 of the VICP’s
implementing regulation (42 CFR part
100) states that the revised amount of
the average cost of a health insurance
policy, as determined by the Secretary,
is effective upon its delivery by the
Secretary to the United States Court of
Federal Claims (the Court), and will be
published periodically in a notice in the
Federal Register. This figure is
calculated using the most recent
Medical Expenditure Panel SurveyInsurance Component (MEPS–IC) data
available as the baseline for the average
monthly cost of a health insurance
policy. This baseline is adjusted by the
annual percentage increase/decrease
obtained from the most recent annual
Kaiser Family Foundation and Health
Research and Educational Trust (KFF/
HRET) Employer Health Benefits Survey
or other authoritative source that may be
more accurate or appropriate.
In 2016, MEPS–IC, available at
www.meps.ahrq.gov, published the
annual 2015 average total single
premium per enrolled employee at
private-sector establishments that
provide health insurance. The figure
published was $5,963. This figure is
divided by 12 months to determine the
cost per month of $496.92. The $496.92
is increased or decreased by the
percentage change reported by the most
recent KFF/HRET Employer Health
Benefits Survey, available at
www.kff.org. The percentage increase
from 2015 to 2016 was 2.9 percent. By
adding this percentage increase, the
calculated average monthly cost of a
health insurance policy for a 12-month
period is $511.33.
Therefore, the Secretary announces
that the revised average cost of a health
insurance policy under the VICP is
$511.33 per month. In accordance with
§ 100.2, the revised amount was
effective upon its delivery by the
Secretary to the Court. Such notice was
delivered to the Court on October 24,
2016.
