CDHPs come in different shapes and sizes. Another way to become acquainted with the different kinds of CDHPs and how they compare to traditional plans is to demonstrate how a typical year of medical costs might look.

For example, if in one year, Jasmine has 1 physical, fills 4 prescriptions, and makes 6 trips to her physical therapist, what will her spending be when her healthcare account structure is a FSA, an HRA, or an HSA? What will her complete financial picture (premium and cost sharing) be with each? Will she have rollover funds at the end of the year, or will she incur out-of-pocket costs which her premium savings can help pay for? Compare the answers to these questions with the results she would see if she were on a traditional managed care plan. The table that follows is a compelling way to present these findings and help illustrate the power of a CDHP to change the way we look at healthcare and the value we receive from our health insurance plans.
