Major Carriers and High Deductible Health Plans
- Preventative and Hospital Care 1250Vimo Editorial Profile
A plan with relatively low premiums and a relatively low deductible, Preventative and Hospital Care 1250 is, unlike the similar Preventative and Hospital Care 3000, not compatible with Health Savings Accounts (HSAs). - Preventative and Hospital Care 3000 (HSA Compatible)Vimo Editorial Profile
A plan that’s compatible with Health Savings Accounts (HSAs), Preventative and Hospital Care 3000 has rock-bottom premiums and a high deductible ($3,000). The idea behind the plan is that you sock away $3,000 in pretax dollars in an HSA, which would be spent toward the deductible before benefits kick in.

- CeltiCare II Select PPO 80/20 $1,000Vimo Editorial Profile
CeltiCare's Select PPO plan offers a cash-back incentive for participating in a "Healthy Lifestyle" program. That means that 25 percent of charges for eligible programs, like hospital sponsored accredited smoking cessation, weight loss and even exercise programs, are returned to you -- up to $300 a year. It's an interesting incentive, and one that other health plans should offer. Like many high-deductible PPO plans, this one features coinsurance after you burn through the deductible -- and a high out-of-pocket-maximum. In other words, once you spend your deductible, you're responsible for a large percentage of your medical bill until you've reached your OOPM. The plan features an unusually high lifetime maximum payout of $7 million. For an additional premium, CeltiCare offers a generic prescription drug program: Generic drugs are available for a small copay and no deductible. - CeltiCare II Select PPO 80/20 $1,500Vimo Editorial Profile
