Choosing a Plan Design

Not sure where to start when deciding on a health plan? This video will walk you through the first step: choosing a plan design. The video shows the key differences between your options and case studies show how different plan designs would affect a participant’s budget over 3 years.

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.
