I just started a new job and have the option of choosing from either a traditional health insurance plan or an HSA plan (both offered by Aetna). I have uploaded copies of the summaries for both plans below:
Traditional plan:
HSA plan:
At this point, I’m just trying to decide which plan I’d be better off signing up for. What I’m confused by is the fact that for Tier 3 (out of network) providers, the Traditional plan has a lower deductible with a higher OOP maximum, while the HSA plan has a lower deductible but a higher OOP maximum.
The reason I’m caught up on the above is because I’m planning on having a relatively major surgery done within the next year, and I might go to a Tier 3 provider for the surgery. If that ends up being the case, would I be better off going with the Traditional plan since the deductible is lower?
Thanks
