Consumer Option (HDHP)

Health coverage + health savings

A health plan + a health savings account that’s there for you

The MHBP Consumer Option is a high-deductible health plan (HDHP) with a health savings account (HSA). 

The Plan will deposit up to $2,400 per year for a Self and Family or Self Plus One enrollment ($1,200 Self Only) into your HSA for you. Use it to pay for health expenses, or watch your savings grow as they roll over. Network preventive care is covered at 100% with no deductible. After you meet your deductible, for most services you pay low copayments — or nothing at all — for covered care.
