They cover tons of stuff 100%, all of our well visits are covered 100%, vaccines and preventative things are covered 100%. I had a colonoscopy this year, covered 100%. Then for anything else you have done you pay a negotiated rate with the provider, we took our son to AI DuPont for asthma/allergy testing and insurance reduced the cost by like 75%.
You will definitely pay more for visits to doctors etc. than a $20 co pay, but your premiums should be far less too. I think I pay like ~$160/mo for my high deductible plan by it would be over $400 for a lower deductible/co-pay plan and it's cheaper in the long run for us. We don't go to the doctor that often.
Sorry, this is the first time I've had something other than HMO/PPO so I was a bit confused there. I thought the amount being taken out of my paycheck and put into the HSA went towards meeting the deductible, but it sounds like they're completely independent things, and meeting the deductible is based on accruing $1500 or $2500 worth of doctors bills out-of-pocket before insurance says "whoa, hold on, let me help you out there". Do I have that right? My plan has 100% preventive in-network, so I'm OK there, then it's 70% co-insurance after meeting the deductible for prescriptions, other visits, etc.
Yup, that's it. The HSA money is yours and stays yours, the deductible is only based on what doctor bills you accrue and most likey prescriptions as well as well as some other various things
A high-ded plan, along with an HSA, keeps your premiums low and insures you for events that would have major financial impact on you.
It's useful for us to stop thinking that we need insurance for every penny needed for health care. It's as pointless, and as expensive, as it would be buying grocery insurance. You're gonna need to buy stuff to eat - budget for it. You're gonna have some doc visits or prescriptions - budget for them.
You can't budget for cancer or a heart attack, so that is covered once you meet the deductible.
That is the basic principle of insurance - not to reimburse you for every routine cost, but to make you whole after suffering a signficant and unexpected financial event.
