Annual EBRI/MGA survey found that consumer driven health plans continued to grow in 2011, with about 21 million individuals being either in a CDHP or an HSA-eligible plan. Survey suggests that CDHP enrollees tend to be more engaged in their health and make appropriate health decisions.

The key findings show that individuals in CDHPs are more cost-conscious, more engaged into wellness programs,  and actively use technology for health-related purposes.

The 2011 EBRI/MGA Consumer Engagement in Health Care Survey is based on an online survey of 4,703 privately insured adults aged 21-64 .
