Item 1

 
(6) The extent to which insurance coverage of the
health care service or provider may be reasonably
expected to increase or decrease the insurance premium
and administrative expenses of policyholders;

 
(7) The impact of indirect costs, which are costs
other than premiums and administrative costs, on the
question of the costs and benefits of coverage;

 
(8) The impact of this coverage on the total cost of
health care, including potential benefits and savings
to insurers and employers because the proposed mandated
treatment or service prevents disease or illness or
leads to the early detection and treatment of disease
or illness that is less costly than treatment or
service for later stages of a disease or illness;

 
(9) The effects of mandating the benefit on the cost
of health care, particularly the premium and
administrative expenses and indirect costs, to
employers and employees, including the financial impact
on small employers, medium-sized employers and large
employers; and

 
(10) The effect of the proposed mandate on cost-
shifting between private and public payors of health
care coverage and on the overall cost of the health
care delivery system in this State;.

 
In order to enable the committee to assess the financial
impact of the benefit, the report must include a comparison
of the rate of increase in the Consumer Price Index for
medical care services to the rate of increase in the
Consumer Price Index for the previous year and the current
year as reported by the United States Department of Labor,
Bureau of Labor Statistics;
