What does the IRS consider a high-deductible health plan?

A “qualified high-deductible health plan” is defined by the federal government as a health plan with an annual deductible [for 2017] that is not less than $1,300 for self-only coverage or $2,600 for family coverage, and the annual out-of pocket expenses (deductibles, co-payments, and other amounts, but not premiums) do not exceed $7,150 for self-only coverage or $14,300 for family coverage.

Coaches' Takeaway

Keep these figures in mind as they pertain to a HDHP: $1,300 for self-only coverage or $2,600 for family coverage, and the annual out-of pocket expenses (deductibles, co-payments, and other amounts, but not premiums) do not exceed $7,150 for self-only coverage or $14,300for family coverage.
