    "term": "High-Deductible Health Plan (HDHP)",
    "shortDefinition": "A health insurance plan with a higher deductible and lower premiums that qualifies you to open an HSA.",
    "fullDefinition": "A High-Deductible Health Plan (HDHP) is a health insurance plan with a higher annual deductible than traditional plans. In exchange for the higher deductible, HDHPs typically have lower monthly premiums. Most importantly, having an HDHP is the only way to qualify for opening a Health Savings Account (HSA).\n\nFor 2024, a plan qualifies as an HDHP if it has a minimum deductible of $1,600 for individual coverage or $3,200 for family coverage. Maximum out-of-pocket limits are $8,050 for individuals and $16,100 for families. These numbers are adjusted annually for inflation.\n\nHDHPs must cover preventive care before the deductible is met. This includes annual physicals, vaccinations, and certain screenings. For other care, you'll pay the full cost until you meet your deductible, then typically pay coinsurance until you hit your out-of-pocket maximum.",
