Now that HSA's (Health Savings Accounts) are no longer new and many now understand them. Here is the simple math to help you along the way. It's as easy as 1-2-3.

1) First calculate your total exposure (maximum out of pocket) and premium on your current plan.
Example: You now have a $1,500 deductible with 80/20 to the first $5,000 ($1,000 additional out of pocket)
with a $20 DR's office co-pay and a 15/30/50 RX co-pay.
On this plan your maximum exposure would be $2,500 PLUS all your co-pays you pay throughout the year.
The premium for your current plan is $214.00 per month or $2,568 per year.

2) Determine the HSA compatible health plans maximum exposure and premium.

Example: The HSA plan has a $3,000 deductible with 100% coverage thereafter and the premium is $134.00 per month or $1,608 per year.

3) Take the difference in both premiums:$2,568 minus $1,608 which is a $960.00 savings per year. You can now take the $960.00 you saved per year and place it in a tax free account (HSA) and use it to pay down your deductible, leaving you a net maximum exposure of $2,040 or $460 less than your current plan. And if you do not use the money in the HSA it rolls over to next year. Continue paying a higher premium, have no claims, and you will not get a refund.
