Anthem CDHP with HSA

See details

The Anthem Consumer Directed Health Plan with Health Savings Account (Anthem CDHP with HSA) is a high-deductible health plan that offers both in-network and out-of-network coverage. This plan is paired with a tax-advantaged HSA to help you save for current and future health care expenses.

What you need to know

You pay nothing for preventive care or most preventive care drugs.
You have lower per-paycheck costs, but you must first meet your annual deductible ($2,000 for an individual/$4,000 for a family) before the plan begins paying for nonpreventive medical costs or nonpreventive prescription drugs.
Although the family in-network deductible is $4,000, the plan will begin to pay after one family member meets a $2,800 deductible. You don’t have to meet the entire family deductible before the plan kicks in for health care costs for that family member.
You have the flexibility to use in-network or out-of-network providers—the same network of providers as the Anthem Base PPO plan—but you will always pay less if you stay in network.
Lam contributes to your HSA: up to $1,300 for employees with individual coverage and up to $2,600 for employees with family coverage.
You can contribute pretax money through paycheck deductions—up to $2,350 for individual coverage or $4,700 for family coverage in 2022. If you’re 55 or older, you can contribute an additional $1,000 in “catch-up” contributions each year.
You can use the funds in your HSA to pay for current medical costs or save them to cover planned—or unexpected—expenses in the future.
The HSA is yours to use forever, even if you change jobs. There is no use-it-or-lose-it rule associated with this account.

What you need to know
