A plan with a higher deductible than a traditional insurance plan.
Moreover, are HDHP plans worth it?
A HDHP can seem like a great choice because the premium cost is typically lower than other types of coverage. But as the name makes clear, there is a high deductible you must pay before coverage kicks in. Next year, the minimum deductible for an HDHP plan is $1,400 for single coverage and $2,800 for maximum coverage.
Similarly, is HDHP a PPO or HMO?
HDHPs can vary and operate as both HMO and PPO plans. In fact, you’ll find high deductible plans in both HMOs and PPOs. The telltale sign of HDHPs is that you will have a larger deductible to meet than a standard deductible plan.
How does a HDHP work?
Per IRS guidelines in 2022, an HDHP is a health insurance plan with a deductible of at least $1,400 if you have an individual plan – or a deductible of at least $2,800 if you have a family plan. The deductible is the amount you’ll pay out of pocket for medical expenses before your insurance pays anything.
Who is eligible for HDHP?
For individual coverage, the HDHP must have an annual deductible of at least $1,400 and annual out-of-pocket expenses (including co-payments and deductibles but not insurance premiums) must not exceed $6,900.
Why HSA is a bad idea?
The Downside of HSAs
HSAs might also not be a good idea if you know you will be needing expensive medical care in the near future. When you have a copay, you know how much it will cost to visit the doctor but it can be difficult to find out the cost of medical care when you are paying yourself.

Can HDHP have copays?
That means HDHPs cannot have copays for office visits or prescriptions prior to the deductible being met (as opposed to a plan that’s got a high deductible but also offers copays for office visits from the get-go; people might generally consider the latter to be a high deductible plan, but it’s not an HDHP).
