The average group sizes for the 2009 survey respondents are considerably smaller than 2008 respondents based on number of members as shown in Table 3. A total of 40.7% of respondents have < 2,000 members. Forty-eight employers or 11.5% did not report the size of their groups which is close to the 13.5% not reporting in 2008. The 2009 size distribution, outlined in Table 4, is more representative of the commercially insured marketplace than last year’s findings. The total number of members for each plan type is listed in Table 2.
