Average annualized insurance premium charged for a particular insurance product provided by the organization during the reporting period.
Organizations should footnote all assumptions used.
This metric is intended to capture average annual spending by client individuals on insurance, a proxy of affordability. Organizations are encouraged to compare these data to historical or national averages. For example, in the United States, organizations can refer to the Henry J. Kaiser Foundation for yearly data on average annual health insurance premiums to assess affordability and access to healthcare for individuals and families.
Organizations should also consider reporting Minimum Insurance Premium (PI3734).

IRIS Metrics Work Better in Sets
To use IRIS metrics—and the resulting data—to understand impact performance, IRIS metrics should be used and analyzed in generally accepted sets and according to well-defined objectives.
