Anthem CDHP with HSA

cost low deductible medium HSA yes doctor yes

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 eligible for 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 $3,300 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.
  • Once you open your HSA, Lam contributes to your account: up to $1,300 for employees with individual coverage and up to $2,600 for employees with family coverage.
    • You can contribute pretax money to your HSA through paycheck deductions—up to $3,000 for individual coverage or $5,950 if you cover yourself and one or more dependents in 2025. 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.
  • You can receive care while traveling through the BlueCard PPO and Blue Cross Blue Shield Global Core programs.

With higher paycheck deductions than the Anthem CDHP with HSA, the Anthem Base PPO offers predictable out-of-pocket in-network costs. To save on your share of costs, you can contribute pretax dollars (up to $3,200) to a General Purpose Health Care Flexible Spending Account (FSA) and use that money to pay for eligible health care expenses.

What you need to know

  • You pay nothing for preventive care.
  • This plan has higher monthly paycheck contributions than the Anthem CDHP, along with predictable in-network costs.
  • You have the flexibility to choose in-network or out-of-network providers (you pay less if you stay in network).
  • For in-network care, the plan pays 80% of the cost of most services after you meet your annual deductible.
  • Although the family in-network deductible is $2,600, the plan will begin to pay after one family member meets a $1,300 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 can stretch your health care dollars (and reduce your taxable income) by contributing pretax dollars to a General Purpose Health Care FSA to cover eligible out-of-pocket costs.
  • You can receive care while traveling through the BlueCard PPO and Blue Cross Blue Shield Global Core programs.
