DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND 

HUMAN SERVICES 

Health Resources and Services 

Administration 

National Vaccine Injury Compensation 

Program: Revised Amount of the 

Average Cost of a Health Insurance 

Policy 

The Health Resources and Services 

Administration (HRSA) is publishing an 

updated monetary amount of the 

average cost of a health insurance policy 

as it relates to the National Vaccine 

Injury Compensation Program (VICP). 

Section 100.2 of the VICP’s 

implementing regulation (42 CFR Part 

100) states that the revised amounts of 

an average cost of a health insurance 

policy, as determined by the Secretary, 

are to be published periodically in a 

notice in the Federal Register and filed 

with the United States Court of Federal 

Claims (the Court). This figure is 

calculated using the most recent 

Medical Expenditure Panel SurveyInsurance Component (MEPS–IC) data 

available as the baseline for the average 

monthly cost of a health insurance 

policy. This baseline is adjusted by the 

annual percentage increase/decrease 

obtained from the most recent annual 

Kaiser Family Foundation and Health 

Research and Educational Trust (KFF/ 

HRET) Employer Health Benefits survey 

or other authoritative source that may be 

more accurate or appropriate. 

In 2012, MEPS–IC, available at 

www.meps.ahrq.gov, published the 

annual 2011 average total single 

premium per enrolled employee at 

private-sector establishments that 

provide health insurance. The annual 

figure published was $5,222. This figure 

is divided by 12 months to determine 

the cost per month of $435.17. The 

$435.17 shall be increased or decreased 

by the percentage change reported by 

the most recent KFF/HRET, available at 

www.kff.org. The percentage increase 

was published at 3 percent. By adding 

this percentage increase, the calculated 

average monthly cost of a health 

insurance policy for a 12 month period 

is $448.23. 

Therefore, the Secretary announces 

that the revised average cost of a health 

insurance policy under the VICP is 

$448.23 per month. In accordance with 

§ 100.2, the revised amount was 

effective upon its delivery by the 

Secretary to the Court. Such notice was 

delivered to the Court on November 30, 

2012. 

Dated: December 26, 2012.

Administrator.
