The Health Cost
Index Report™ (HCIR) is a quarterly newsletter that presents the
latest trends and forecasts from our proprietary database of medical
trends. These trends measure the market average rate of increase in
medical costs for a typical $250 deductible Comprehensive Major
Medical benefit package. Our database measures the growth rate in
medical consumption by measuring how fast provider net revenues
increase. This inherently captures price, utilization and
mix/intensity of service changes (technology). The HCIR presents
trends by benefit and by region of the country. The quarterly reports
also contain one year forecasts and Milliman's latest research on
medical trends.
