Local market survey of top five Memphis providers. The survey is directed
to and answered by representatives of the major insurers. We estimate these
numbers are accurate + or - 2%. Trending is only one of the factors
involved in plan expense growth. This is not a scientific survey, but a
reasonable estimate of Memphis trend.
