the revised amount of an average cost of
a health insurance policy, as determined
by the Secretary of HHS (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. The Secretary
delegated this responsibility to the
HRSA Administrator. 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 (KFF)
Employer Health Benefits Survey or
other authoritative sources that may be
more accurate or appropriate.
In 2021, MEPS–IC, available at
www.meps.ahrq.gov, published the
HRSA specifically requests comments
on (1) the necessity and utility of the
proposed information collection for the
proper performance of the agency’s
functions, (2) the accuracy of the
estimated burden, (3) ways to enhance
the quality, utility, and clarity of the
information to be collected, and (4) the
use of automated collection techniques
or other forms of information
technology to minimize the information
collection burden.

annual 2020 average total single
premium per enrolled employee at
private-sector establishments that
provide health insurance. The figure
published was $7,149. This figure is
divided by 12 to determine the cost per
month of $595.75. The $595.75 figure is
increased or decreased by the
percentage change reported by the most
recent KFF Employer Health Benefits
Survey, available at www.kff.org. The
increase from 2020 to 2021 was 4.0
percent. By adding this percentage
increase, the calculated average monthly
cost of a health insurance policy for a
12-month period is $619.58.
Therefore, the revised average cost of
a health insurance policy under the
VICP is $619.58 per month. In
accordance with § 100.2, the revised
amount was effective upon its delivery
to the Court.
