For calendar year 2005, a HDHP is a health insurance plan with a minimum deductible of $1,000 for a single and $2,000 for families. The HDHP may not provide benefits until the annual deductible has been met, except for preventative services and prescription drugs.
This term generally refers to a health benefit plan with a large deductible.
Insurance that does not cover first dollar medical expenses (with the possible exception of prevenative care) and can be an HMO, PPO or indemnity plan, as long as it meets the requirements.
A High Deductible Health Plan is a health insurance plan in which the enrollee pays a deductible of at least $1,100(self-only coverage) or $2,200 (family coverage). The annual out-of-pocket amount (including deductibles and copayments) the enrollee pays cannot exceed $5,000 (self-only coverage) or $10,000 (family coverage). HDHPs can have first dollar coverage (no deductible)for preventive care and higher out-of-pocket copayments and coinsurance for services received from nonnetwork providers. HDHPs offered by the FEHB Program establish and partially fund HSAs for all eligible enrollees and provide a comparable HRA for enrollees who are ineligible for an HSA. The HSA premium funding or HRA credit amounts vary by plan.
A High Deductible Health Plan (HDHP) is a health insurance plan with lower premiums and higher deductibles than a traditional health plan. It is sometimes referred to as a catastrophic health insurance plan.
