1 Consumer Driven Experience

2 What is Consumer Driven Health Care? Consumer Driven Health Care offers a medical plan partnered with a tax-advantaged account to offset the cost of the medical plan deductible and coinsurance. Consumer Driven Health Care encourages members take a more active role in managing their health care and health care services. Medical plans that are considered Consumer Driven Health Care are most often no co-pay plans. Preventive services may be covered at 100%, but all other services require the member to meet their deductible first, prior to the coinsurance paying any percentage of the cost. To help the member pay for those first dollar charges, the IRS allows tax-advantaged accounts such as Health Savings Accounts or Health Reimbursement Accounts.

3 Difference between Health Savings Accounts and Health Reimbursement Accounts CDHP with Health Savings Account Account owned by the employee Account portable Tax free distribution of funds if used for medical expenses (this includes all 213d expenses as well as qualified long term care insurance premiums and certain medical premiums) IRS allows distribution from account for non qualified expenses with income tax and 20% penalty tax. May roll over from year to year and continue to earn interest May be invested in mutual funds CDHP with Health Reimbursement Account Employer provided (and owned account) Account not portable Employer decides if other expenses may apply (may include all 213d expenses) May roll over from year to year Typically forfeited when leaving the group
