Non-Group Coverage Offers data on the number of people covered, category of premium collection, as well as payments for pharmaceuticals, ambulance services, and other benefits. Subsequent supplements will provide statistics for a five-year period when feasible, except for regional data. Since regional boundaries continue to change and these data are not adjusted, prior year data may not be fully comparable. Therefore, regional data are provided only for the current year. Your Input Is Appreciated Your feedback is invaluable in helping us make future Statistical Supplements as easy to read and use as possible.
