Blue PrioritySM HSA

Description:
Low-cost health plan, with higher member cost-sharing. If you’re healthy and could benefit from some additional tax savings, Blue Priority HSA may be a smart option. These plans combine a Blue Select qualified high-deductible health plan (QHDHP) with a health savings account (HSA). Use your HSA to pay for qualified medical expenses, such as office visits, prescription drugs, labs and x-rays. The money you put into your account may reduce your income taxes for the year and grows tax-free — similar to money saved in a 401(k) plan (state tax treatment may vary).

Features:

  • Tax advantages available through HSA
  • Deductible waived for preventive and routine care (up to $500 annually per member)
  • See any doctor in our extensive Blue Select PPO network – no referrals needed
  • Prescription drugs covered under the health plan as an in-network benefit
  • Worldwide network access through BlueCard

Optional Benefits:
When you apply for a Blue Priority HSA qualified high-deductible health plan, you can choose from these optional benefits for an additional premium:

  • Life Insurance — Low-cost insurance available through USAble Life Insurance Company. Benefit amounts start at $10,000, and premium rates are determined by age, gender, and tobacco use
  • Vision — 10% to 60% discount on eyeglasses, contact lenses, non-prescription sunglasses and other vision items. Discounts on eye exams available in many areas, offered through Avesis, which contracts with more than 10,000 retail optical outlets nationwide
