Q: My employer just raised the
deductible on our HSA type group health insurance to $5000. If I sign
up for both the ValueMed and ValueHealth plan to get more coverage, can
I still be eligible for the HSA deduction?
A: Yes, ValueMed and ValueHealth
are low cost supplemental health insurance plans that pay cash benefits
to you and do permit you to remain eligible for a Health Savings
Account even if your total insurance benefit is more than your total
expenses. The price for each of these averages about $50 per month for
most people under age 50. Click "Fast Quote" at FreedomBenefits.net and
then select your state to check availability, prices and details of
this coverage.
