Plan Costs & Overview

Monthly premium

$4,025.13

per month

Deductible amount

The dollar amount you pay for services and/or medications before your plan begins to pay a larger portion of your costs.

Deductible type

There are two deductible types, stacked and aggregate. Members enrolled in an individual-only plan are not impacted, but if a family member is added onto the plan at a later date, it will change how the plan pays benefits.

 

On a stacked plan, once an individual meets their deductible or out-of-pocket limit, the plan pays accordingly, even on a two-person or family plan. With an aggregate plan, the full deductible or out-of-pocket limit must be met collectively by members on the plan before benefits are paid.

Stacked

Out-of-pocket maximum

The maximum amount you will pay for covered services (medical or prescriptions) during a plan year. Once you meet this limit, your plans pays 100% of covered health care costs for the rest of the plan year.

Health Savings Account (HSA) compatibility

A Health Savings Account (HSA) is a tax-free savings account that can be used to pay for IRS-approved medical expenses that are not covered by a member’s health plan. HSAs work in conjunction with an HSA-eligible health plan that meets IRS guidelines.

Health Reimbursement Arrangement (HRA) compatibility

Health Reimbursement Arrangements (HRA) are administered and funded by employers to help employees pay for out-of-pocket health care expenses like deductibles, office visits, hospital stays, and prescription drug costs.

Network type

A network type determines the network of providers and facilities available in a health plan.
