Enrollment for consumer-driven health plans (CDHPs) remains low, but is slowly rising. New findings released this month from the Employee Benefit Research Institute (EBRI) show 4 percent of the U.S. population was enrolled in a CDHP in 2009, up from 3 percent last year.

That 4 percent represents 5 million adults ages 21 to 64 with private insurance.

Enrollment in HDHPs increased from 11 percent in 2008 to 13 percent in 2009, translating to 16.2 million adults with private insurance.
