HDHP & HSA Cliff Notes

February 8th, 2008 at 09:39 pm

In response to a question I received, this is a condensation of information I have posted elsewhere. Hope this little cheat sheet helps anyone shopping for a HDHP & HSA (or just wanting to learn more about them)!

HDHP (High Deductible Health Plan): I chose United Health Care. Blue Cross / Blue Shield also seemed like an excellent choice. I'm sure there are other good ones too.

HSA (Health Savings Account): Exante and HSA Bank seem to be the "big 2," but I chose HSA Resources Bank due to wonderful experiences with their parent company (Stearns Bank).

If you are thinking about getting a HDHP and HSA and want to learn more, I recommend the following sites.

For General Info on HSAs:

ustreas.gov/offices/public-affairs/hsa/ (US Treasury site; lots of info on HSAs; I found the "HSA Basics" tri-fold brochure to be especially helpful)

finance.yahoo.com/expert/article/millionaire/50127 (good article by David Bach)

For general information on health insurance:

healthinsuranceinfo.net

For specific state-by-state info:

nahu.org/consumer/healthcare

For quotes:

This is a great post. In fact I recently did another installment on this topic at BlogHer and added shared some of your thoughts with a link back to here.

Thanks for letting me know about it via Queercents.

Warmly
