In the above example, you can compare the annual costs associated with
the PPO Plan and the HDHP/HSA Plan for family coverage. Listed are
the annual premiums, out-of-pocket maximums, and HSA seed money
(HDHP/HSA Plan only). These are applied to a worst-case scenario, an
average scenario and a best-case scenario, so you can compare plan
costs depending on how much you use the plan. In each scenario, the
HDHP/HSA Plan costs less money on an annual basis than the PPO plan.
Please note that actual savings can vary depending on each families
healthcare utilization.
