High Deductible Health Plan (HDHP)

Health Savings Accounts & High Deductible Health Plans

Health Savings Accounts (HSAs) are designed to help individuals save for future qualified medical and retiree health expenses on a tax-free basis.

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.

Participating in a "qualified" HDHP is a requirement for Health Savings Accounts (HSAs).
