Mercer recently conducted a nationwide survey of employer-sponsored health plans, reflecting the practices of small businesses, including manufacturers. The study found:

• For manufacturing employers with fewer than 50 workers, the 2019 average cost of a PPO was $9,806 per capita, and $9,038 for an HSA.
• Under PPOs, the average small manufacturer pays 38% of the individual premium and 65% of the family premium.
• The most prevalent individual deductible is $2,500 for PPOs and $5,000 for HSAs.
