Greenbush Health is now offering a Qualified High Deductible Health Plan (BCBSKS - Option 4) along with the QHDP we are also offering a Health Savings Account (HSA) administered by Further by HealthEquity. 

Our QHDP has a $5000 dollar deductible which means you will be responsible for the first $5000 dollars of your health care expenses.  However, since our QHDP is considered a Non-Grandfathered health plan all Preventative Services as defined by the Affordable Care Act will be paid by BCBSKS at 100% of the allowable charge.

An HSA is an account that can be funded with your tax-exempt dollars, or by your employer, or both, to help pay for IRS qualified medical expenses not covered by your insurance plan, including deductible, coinsurance and, in some cases, may be used to pay health insurance premiums.  HSA monies can also be saved to use for future IRS qualified medical expenses on a tax-free basis. 

Further by HealthEquity is one of the largest health savings account (HSA) custodians and account administrators in the nation. They’ve been at the forefront of innovation in health spending accounts for 25 years, and have earned a reputation as one of the most experienced and trusted account administrators in the country.
