Average costs for U.S. employers that pay for their employees’ healthcare will increase 6.5% to more than $13,800 per employee in 2023, largely due to economic inflation pressures, according to professional services firm Aon.
This projection is more than double the 3% increase to healthcare budgets that employers experienced from 2021 to 2022. But it’s significantly below the 9.1% inflation figure reported through the Consumer Price Index.
