AMS HSA

American Medical Security offers one of the most competitive HSA plans in many parts of the country, most particularly Pennsylvania, Kansas, Oklahoma and Michigan.  There are two versions of the American Medical Security MedOne HSA.  The MedOne HSA with Wellness Plan includes coverage for outpatient doctor visits and prescriptions.  The MedOne HSA, which often cost 25% per month less than the Med one HSA with Wellness Plan, does not provide benefits for those services.

Both American Medical Security HSA Plans include coverage for dental and vision, making these some of the most comprehensive HSA plans on the market.

Coverage Synopsis:

There are two different versions of the American Medical Security HSA plan.

American Medical Security MedOne HSA Plan

The American Medical Security MedOne HSA Plan is one of the most economical HSA plans in many parts of the country.  It is available in a 100% version, an 80/20 version, or a 50/50 version.

The first option pays 100% of all covered expenses up to $5 million per person after your deductible has been met.

The other options cover either 80% or 50% of covered expenses until you have reached your co-insurance limit.  The plan then pays 100% of remaining covered expenses up to $5 million per person.

At no time does this plan provide coverage for outpatient doctor visits or outpatient prescriptions.

American Medical Security MedOne HSA with Wellness Plan

The American Medical Security HSA Wellness Plan works the same as the above mentioned plan, while also adding coverage for outpatient doctor visits or outpatient prescriptions.

* Both American Medical Security HSA plans come with a discount prescription card, vision coverage, and membership in the Careington Dental discount program.  You also have access to a 24-hour Nurse Line toll free any time, where you can talk to an experienced registered nurse about health concerns.

Underwriting:

American Medical Security has a smooth and efficient underwriting process that is very fast if no medical records are needed.  While it is always a good idea to apply at least three weeks prior to the time you need your new coverage to take effect, some applications that are done online (coming soon for American Medical Security HSA plans) are approved by American Medical Security within 24 hours.

The company does have the right to accept or decline any individual or family application.  Certain conditions may be waivered with a temporary rider (usually for one to two years), or an indefinite rider. If you are currently being treated for depression, anxiety, or high cholesterol, please let us know before you apply so we can make sure there are no delays in getting you covered.

American Medical Security top

Effective dates:

The coverage can go into effect in as quickly as 24 hours, though the applicant risks being declined if claims are submitted before the underwriting process is completed.  You may request an effective date any time after the date you sign the application and 60 days later.  Please note that you will be billed starting on your requested effective date, even if you have not yet been notified that you have been approved.  This is very good for someone who does not have any present coverage and would like for their benefits to begin right away.  For those who are already covered, it is suggested that you maintain your current coverage in force until you have received notice from either from HSA for America or directly from American Medical Security that your policy has been approved and is in force.
