How an HDHP Works

High Deductible Health Plans (HDHPs) usually have lower monthly premiums than plans with lower deductibles. By using the untaxed funds in your Health Savings Account (HSA) to pay for expenses before you reach your deductible, you reduce your overall healthcare costs.

There are three types of expenses associated with an HDHP: deductible, coinsurance, and out-of-pocket limit. These may work differently than you expect if you haven't had an HDHP before.
