Re: Quick Health Plan advice
My thinking is, that with the $6k deductible plan, what is gained by lower premiums would be lost in bills right away. However I do believe the maximum out of pocket amount in the $3k deductible is actually higher than the $6k deductible plan.
I would appreciate some advice, as I'm feeling quite stressed by the thought of potentially having $12k in medical bills for this yr and next and feeling like I'll never be able to build any substantial savings up in my HSA.
If this is the case then I would think that the Max OOP value is going to be the key in the decision on which plan to take for next year. (If you believe that the costs you incur are going to reach this level.)
20% of a lot is still a lot.
I had one incident this year that meant going from a long way from the deductible to immediately at the max OOP in the blink of an eye.
