Coverage issued as individual policies in Minnesota.As individual policies, no employer contribution can be made. Coverage will be based on voluntary rates and will be subject to the 6 month pre-existing condition limitation. List billing to the employer is available.

Outpatient Expense Gaps

HDI provides specific protection against hospitalization - the coverage “gap” created by HDHPs.

Outpatient expenses can be significant but most employees can find a way to pay for them because they usually do not occur all at once.

HDI does not attempt to cover the outpatient gaps because:

•the combined HDHP and in/outpatient gap plan premium will likely total as much or more than the cost of a single comprehensive policy;

•Providing outpatient gap benefits can lead to increased utilization which negates the lower health care consumption behavior expectation that is the basis for the lower rates offered through HDHPs;

•HSA legislation prohibits a gap policy that provides outpatient benefits from being paired with a high deductible policy.
