UMP High Deductible Health Plan - SEBB

This page contains plan information for 2023. For 2024 plan information visit the 2024 UMP High Deductible webpage.

UMP High Deductible

UMP High Deductible covers all the same services as UMP Achieve 2, but has a lower monthly premium and a higher deductible. UMP High Deductible automatically enrolls members in a health savings account (HSA), which allows you to set aside pre-tax money to pay for qualified medical and prescription drug expenses. Once the money is in your account, it’s yours, and there is no deadline to use it.

Your out-of-pocket limit depends on the number of persons enrolled in the plan:
  • One member enrolled: $4,200
  • Two or more members enrolled: $8,400.

  • Once a member meets $7,000 in covered out-of-pocket expenses annually, the plan will pay for covered services at 100% for that member.
