14 Employer Plans are Driving PFFS Growth  "PFFS plans also are attractive to employers and unions throughout the country, because they can readily provide coverage nationwide, including coverage that is adaptable to seasonal changes in residence. Roughly 15 percent of PFFS enrollment in 2007 derives from employer group and union plans, compared to just 5 percent in 2006. One of the largest additions to PFFS employer group enrollment for 2007 was the Michigan Public School Employees Retirement System, which has close to 100,000 retirees." –Abby L. Block, (Director, Center for Beneficiary Choices, CMS), Testimony on Medicare Advantage Private Fee-For-Service Plans before the W&M Health Subcomm, May 22, 2007  “Dear Provider: Your patient is enrolled in DESERET SECURE, our new Medicare Advantage Private Fee-for-Service plan. Beginning January 1, 2007, Deseret Secure (and Deseret Secure PLUS, which includes a higher prescription drug benefit) replaces all our existing plans for our members on Medicare, including our HCPP and Medicare supplement products." –Letter from Deseret Mutual Benefit Administrators (established in 1970 to serve the employee insurance and retirement needs of employees of the Church of Latter-day Saints).
