High-Deductible Health Plans (HDHP)
2020 ACA Plan Comparison Guide | Iowa
Wellmark's myBlue HDHPSM encourages employee engagement in their health care. Because your employees pay the full cost of care (excluding preventive care) and prescriptions until they reach their deductible, an HDHP helps them understand the true cost of care — and offers the lowest monthly premiums.
Help your employees save with an HSA
When your employees enroll in a qualified HDHP, they can also open a health savings account (HSA). An HSA is an individual savings account employees can contribute to, invest in, and receive certain distributions from.
Integration between Wellmark claims and consumer-driven accounts from WageWorks® External Site means reimbursement is automatic, and employees can view their account balances on their personal myWellmark® account.
WageWorks also offers an easy-to-use mobile app, EZ Receipts® External Site, to help put your employees in control of their health care.

Employees won't be taxed when they take money out of their HSA as long as they use the funds exclusively to pay for qualified medical expenses.*
*If employees use any HSA funds to pay for expenses other than qualified medical expenses, they may be subject to income taxes and additional penalties.Here's how an HSA works
