  • This shows only the responses for 2002. The responses for 2001 were nearly identical, with only one fewer contract reporting richer drug benefits and two fewer reporting richer non-drug benefits in their group offerings.
  • While sample sizes are too small to allow meaningful regional analysis, it should be noted that of the 13 contracts with group enrollment in the Pacific division, only 5 offered richer non-drug benefits to their enrollees, well below the national average. However, 12 of the 13 do offer richer drug benefits to their group enrollees.
