THE “TRUE” MAXIMUM OUT OF POCKET
Individual Family
Maximum Out of Pocket $3,500 $7,000
Current ER HSA Funding
(TER funds 50% of the deductible)
$625 $1,250
Annual Premium Difference
(compared to the EPO)
($143.85-$106.23) x 12 = $451 ($431.55 - $318.70) x 12 = $ 1,354
True Out-of-Pocket Maximum with TER funding
50% of the deductible & re-investing the
premium difference
$2,424
$4,396
The “True” maximum out-of-pocket amount is what employees would need to earmark in savings to insulate themselves 100% from the extremely low probability of a catastrophic event . This would mean generating near $50,000 in medical claims. This amount is similar to ~ 4 % contribution of 401k for the average employee salary, Which can be almost entirely funded by HSA contributions
* Assumes worse case scenario (less than 2% of covered members have claims in this category)
