Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

An estimated 5.5 million employees are now enrolled in high-deductible health plans (HDHPs) with a tax savings option, such as a health savings account (HSA) or a health reimbursement arrangement (HRA). According to the Kaiser Family Foundation’s 2008 Annual Survey of Employer Health Benefits, the growth in HDHPs has increased mainly among companies that employ between 3 and 199 workers, with 13 percent of employees in these small companies now enrolled in a HDHP, up from 8 percent in 2007. For companies with more than 200 employees, the 5 percent inclusion rate is about the same as the previous year. Premiums are typically lower than for other plans, but the deductibles are high. On average, the annual deductible for single coverage is $2,010 for HSAs and $1,552 for HRAs. HDHPs generally have not caught on among patients who need biologics, who would be likely to meet their deductibles quickly. Most companies offering HDHPs reported that cost savings were, to them, the most successful outcome of these plans. The greatest challenge in implementing a HDHP was educating employees about the difference between these and traditional managed care plans. More than a quarter of employers offering HSAs contribute nothing to their employees’ health savings accounts.

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
