The Consumer Choice HSA plan is designed specifically to be a federally qualified HDHP plan, compatible with Health Savings Accounts (HSA). As with other Preferred Provider Option (PPO) plans, medical care/service coverage levels are based on in-network and out-of-network services with in-network services providing lower out-of-pocket expenses. However, the annual deductible must be met before the plan benefits are paid.
