Data Sources for Studies of Self-Insured Health Plans

Pamela Farley Short

ResearchPublished 1995

This report contains an overview of seven national surveys that are representative random samples of self-insured and other employee plans, compiled by RAND's Center for the Study of Employee Health Benefits at the request of the Pension and Welfare Benefits Administration of the Department of Labor. A basic picture of self-insured plans as they exist under current federal law is necessary to evaluate the effect on these plans of any proposed changes to the Employee Retirement Income Security Act (ERISA). The data source tables in the report represent the first task in the overall project.
