Comparing Next Gen to HSA-Based Plans
Most current Next Gen enrollees will be better off financially in one of the HSA-based plans
• 75% of employees when we include the one-time incentives
• 67% ongoing
Which Employees Are Better Off?
1. Level of Claims
• Likely to be better off in HSA if you have low or very high claims
– Employee-only coverage is better in HSA: almost always, with claims of $1,000 or
lower; over 80% of the time with claims over $5,000
– Family coverage is better in HSA: almost always with claims of $2,500 or lower ;
about 65% of the time with claims over $10,000
2. Level of Prescription Drug (Rx) Claims
• Likely to be better off in Next Gen with moderate medical claims but significant Rx claims
• Likely to be better off in HSA with significant medical and Rx claims
3. How Claims are Spread Out Across a Family
Use the online tools to find the best plan based on your situation
Don’t forget to add the extra incentives for migrating in 2015: $200, $300 or $400
