What a health plan really costs in a year

Compare two plans side by side, then layer in an HSA, supplemental coverage, and an Rx program. Pick a scenario or enter your own usage.

Health care usage Annual visits and allowed (negotiated) cost each

Preventive care is free on both plans and is left out. "Other accident lump sums" covers fracture, dislocation, and similar schedule payments.

Plans Copays from each SBC

Check "After ded." when the copay applies only after the deductible. Until then, the member pays the full allowed cost.

HSA and taxes Applies to HSA-eligible plans
Supplemental coverage Accident, hospital indemnity, critical illness

Monthly premiums

Hospital indemnity

Accident

Critical illness and EAP

Defaults come from the Guardian proposal (employee-only rates). Hospital indemnity pays nothing for behavioral health stays.

Rx program $0 generic formulary

When on, Tier 1 generic fills cost $0 and no longer count toward the plan deductible. Brand and specialty fills stay on the plan.
