University High Deductible Plan

The High Deductible Plan provides a higher deductible and out-of-pocket maximum, which requires the member to potentially pay higher overall costs for services incurred under the plan. However, there are lower payroll deductions associated with enrollment.

Individuals enrolled in this plan must be prepared, in the event of a catastrophic illness or injury, to pay up to the out-of-pocket maximum outlined below. An HSA plan, similar to an FSA plan, to which employees contribute pre-tax dollars, is available.
