In 2015, the methodology for calibrating the upper edit bound for the individual deductible amount changed,
causing the average individual deductible per employee enrolled with single coverage in a health insurance plan with a deductible to increase by about 5 percent at the national level in 2015 relative to the earlier methodology.
