NAPEBT – Trends National health premium trend data is from the Hay Benefits Reports (Hay Group) adjusted from a calendar year basis to correspond with NAPEBT's fiscal year. The 2010 trend data was not available from Hay, therefore, the 2009 trend increase percentage was used. For the 2006-2007 plan year the NAPEBT contribution rates are a blend of the one plan offered (7/1/06-12/31/06) and three plans offered (1/1/07-6/30/07) weighted by enrollment. For the 2008-2009 and 2009-2010 plan years the NAPEBT rates are a blend of all three plans weighted by enrollment.
