UMP High Deductible

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.
