Arizona Employees Enrolled in Each Employer Healthcare Delivery Plan Type, 2002–2010
HMO enrollment fell sharply early in the decade, but is projected to maintain a market share of approximately 20% through 2010. "Other," primarily indemnity plans, which comprised less than 10% of the insurance market at the beginning of the decade were all but extinct by 2004.
As HMO enrollment fell, PPO plans gained market share and are expected to account for about 70% of all ESI through 2010.
The growth of PPO plans and high-deductible CDHPs, and declining HMO enrollment have contributed significantly to the increase in out-of-pocket costs borne by individuals as employers seek to hold down their health insurance related costs and create incentives for consumers to make wiser - or at least more cost-effective - choices about their care.
