In 2003, Serigraph’s health costs were escalating at 15% a year. With an annual medical bill of $ 5 million for company and co-workers combined, the trend was unsustainable.
In 2004, the company became one of the first in the nation to adopt a consumer-driven plan. The cost dropped and then stabilized over the next six years.
Now for a family plan in 2010, the Serigraph cost is almost $ 5,000 below the national average.
