One of the most common misperceptions about CDHPs is that they are only high-deductible health plans (HDHPs). This only tells half of the story. A CDHP is the combination of an HDHP paired with a healthcare account.

The HDHP component of a CDHP is often referred to as “catastrophic insurance,” because the deductibles are, by definition, higher than those of traditional health insurance plans ($1,000 or more) and they generally ask consumers to pay a portion of the cost of healthcare products and services before insurance coverage pays.
