Medical HDHP + HSA
Need help choosing a medical plan option?
If you are enrolled or planning to enroll in Medicare, read the flyer available to download below before enrolling in one of our medical plan options.
Our medical plan, administered by OhioHealthy, allows you to access quality healthcare and provides comprehensive coverage.
The OhioHealthy HDHP+HSA has:
- Lower premiums than the OhioHealthy PPO
- A higher deductible than the OhioHealthy PPO (which you must meet before this plan pays any benefits)
- Access to a special tax-advantaged savings account with matching contributions from OhioHealth - a Health Savings Account (HSA)
By choosing in-network providers or specialists, you’ll keep more dollars in your pocket.

HSA (Health Savings Account)
When you enroll in the OhioHealthy HDHP+HSA, you get access to a special tax-advantaged savings account with matching contributions from OhioHealth - a Health Savings Account (HSA), administered by HealthEquity. Very simply, save dollars to pay for future out-of-pocket healthcare expenses, with help from OhioHealth, and reduce your taxable income.
How Health Savings Accounts (HSAs) work
| Your HSA, your dollars Your HSA funds stay with you, even when you leave OhioHealth or retire. |
| + |
| Triple tax advantages Your contributions are not taxed, the interest you earn is not taxed, and the dollars you spend on qualified healthcare expenses (including your deductible) is not taxed. |
| + |
| OhioHealth helps you save You make contributions by payroll deductions and OhioHealth will match your contributions up to a maximum based on the number of people you cover. |
| + |
| Invest and earn interest You can earn interest if you choose to invest your HSA funds. |
| + |
| You decide how and when to spend You decide whether to use your funds to pay for your share of your healthcare expenses (your deductible, prescription medications, and even dental or vision expenses) - or you can choose to pay another way and save your funds for the future or retirement. HealthEquity provides a Debit Card for ease of payment. |
| + |
| Get early access with Balance Booster You can access both your own and OhioHealth’s contributions to your HSA early, which means your entire HSA contribution for the year can be available to you earlier in the calendar year, if you need it. Download the Balance Booster User Guide below for more information. |
| + |
| No “use it or lose it” rule Any unused funds stay in your HSA so you can use them in the future. You could use your HSA like a retirement savings account just for healthcare expenses not covered by Medicare when you retire or become Medicare-eligible. |
