Footnotes:
(1) The sum of the columns may not equal 100 since only plans with fixed, variable, or no deductibles are included. Plans with other deductible formulas are not included. A high deductible health plan (HDHP) is a health plan which typically has a higher deductible and lower premium than a traditional health plan. An individual plan must have a minimum deductible of $1,350 to be classified as a HDHP. Normally the plan includes catastrophic coverage to protect against large medical expenses, but the insured is responsible for routine out-of-pocket expenses.
