Plans
at a Glance:
There
are three Autograph HSA plans: the Total Plus
Rx/HSA, the Total HSA, and the Share 80/HSA.
The most complete plan is the Total Plus Rx/HSA, which has
a $5 million lifetime limit and covers outpatient prescription
drugs. The other plans have a $2 million limit, and
only cover prescriptions while you are hospitalized.
Here's
a quick comparison of these three plans. This is a
general overview of plan features. The policy contains
the actual terms and conditions. Waiting periods,
limitations and exclusions apply.

Autograph
Total HSA Plan
The Autograph
Total HSA plan is similar to the Total Plus Rx/HSA because
it also pays 100% of your medical expenses after your deductible,
but it does not pay for your outpatient prescription drugs.
It does however include a discount card for your prescriptions.
The plan also pays for expenses up to 70% of the total cost
at Non-participating providers after the non-participating
provider deductible has been met.
Lifetime
maximum is $2 million, and can be increased to $5 million
with the optional lifetime maximum benefit.
Preventive
care is covered 100% with Participating providers before your
deductible. Some preventive care is not covered with
Non-Participating providers (such as: routine annual physical
exam (age 13 and older), routine immunizations (age 13 and
older), routine pap smear, and routine lab, pathology and
X-ray).

It does however provide a discount card for your prescriptions.
The plan also pays for expenses up to 60% of the total cost
at Non-participating providers after the non-participating
provider deductible has been met.
Lifetime
maximum is $2 million, and can be increased to $5 million
with the optional lifetime maximum benefit.

*With Participating

With All
three Autograph HSA Plans you can enjoy these extra benefits:
- Special
Discounts
- Eye
care and vision services - Save up to 45 percent
- Over-the
counter and prescription medication - Save up to
25 percent
- Chiropractic,
acupuncture, and massage therapy - Save up to 30
percent
- Health-related
products and services, including skin care, nutrition
supplements, and vitamins - Save up to 20 percent
- Access
to MyHumana for helpful health plan
information, medical information, cost savings tips,
and tools
- The
convenience of a one-stop destination for life, dental,
and individual health insurance
These plans
qualify as HSA-eligible. Combining a Health
Savings Account (HSA) with any HumanaOne HSA plan allows
you to make tax-deductible contributions, pay medical expenses
with pre-tax dollars, and earn tax-deferred interest.
This account works much like an IRA, except you may use your
tax-free savings for qualified medical expenses your health
plan does not cover, such as your deductible, contact lenses,
or most types of alternative medicine. If you do not use
these funds, they simply accumulate with interest, for distribution
upon your retirement.

Optional
Benefits:
Dental
Coverage
You can
choose any dentist, but you can save up to 30 percent on out-of-pocket
costs when you visit one of the more than 75,000 dentist locations
in the PPO network. The annual deductible is $50 for
an individual and $150 for a family.
The plan
pays 100% of all preventative services, then 50% after the
deductible for basic, major and teeth whitening services,
up to an annual maximum of $1,000. You can also receive
up to a 20% discount on orthodontia if you visit an orthodontist
from the HumanaDental PPO network and ask for the discount.
Cost for
this benefit is based on your individual characteristics,
i.e. age, gender, etc and rates start around $30 per month
in addition to the base premium. When you run a quote
with us you will see options with and without this optional
benefit.
Lifetime
maximum
For $3
more per month you can extend your coverage and get the added
protection you need with the $8 million lifetime maximum.
Supplemental
accident benefits
If you
have a minor accident that doesn't cost a lot, this benefit
will cover you right away--up to $500 or $1000 per incident,
before your deductible is required. Anything over the
initial benefit will go towards your deductible and base plan
benefits apply. The cost for an individual for this
benefit is an additional $8.12 per month. Family rates
vary by number of members and ages.

Rate
Information:
Rates for
all three Humana HSA plans
are available on our instant
quote page.
Rates vary
based on age, zip code of residence, and other factors.
Humana are very competitive,
particularly for their higher deductible plans. When running
your quote, please note that rates are often lower when placing
the younger spouse as primary insured.
The
premium can be paid via monthly, quarterly, semi-annual, or
annual billing, or a monthly bank draft. There is a $10
fee for quarterly and monthly billing. The bank draft
will occur on the premium due date each month. The initial
premium can be paid with a check or credit card.

PPO
Networks:
Humana
utilizes the ChoiceCare
network. Insureds can use Humana
doctors throughout the United States. Having access to
the PPO network can mean substantial discounts in what you pay
for your health care, even before you meet your deductible.
View the complete ChoiceCare
PPO Network (check the HumanaOne and Member
radio buttons, enter your zip code and click Go. Then
select the Humana/ChoiceCare PPO Network and click Go).
Humana's
ChoiceCare Network includes more than 320,000 physicians
and ancillary care providers in 50 states and the District of
Columbia, serving 1.3 million PPO members.
The Humana
plans are portable, so you can move throughout the
country without having to change insurance companies, and still
have access to their large network.

Underwriting:
The Humana
Health Insurance underwriting process is extremely fast.
Someone from their underwriting department will call you to
do a telephone interview. Often times you can be given
a conditional approval during the telephone interview, if no
medical records are needed. If medical records are needed,
Humana issues a decision within 48 hours after receipt of records.
One important
aspect of Humana's underwriting process is that it is done up-front
only, when the application is submitted. Many insurance
companies will underwrite again when a claim is submitted, and
may retroactively place a waiver on a plan if a claim occurs
in the first 12 months and they determine that it was a pre-existing
condition. With Humana, if you do not receive a rate up
or rider when you receive the policy, they cover the condition
based on the plans benefits, and do not re-underwrite.
Underwriting
guidelines are much more lenient for plans with deductibles
of $2,500 or higher.
By the way,
Humana has a history of paying claims quickly and currently
pays 92% of all claims in 8 days or less.

Effective
dates:
If you currently
have or have recently had coverage, you can request an effective
date any time between the day you apply and 45 days later.
If an underwriter gives you conditional approval, your health
insurance coverage can go into effect immediately. If
you have not had major medical health insurance within the past
two months, you will have the choice of an effective date of
30 to 45 days after the application submission date.
Please contact
our office by phone ( 866-749- 2039) or use our contact
form for more information on getting this coverage in place
- right away if necessary.

HSA Administrator:
Your health
savings account is totally separate from your health insurance,
and you may use any approved bank or trustee as your HSA administrator.
We recommend that you choose one from our HSA
administrator page, where you can compare rates and features.
Humana Health Insurance partners with First Horizon Msaver to
offer HSA administration for its HumanaOne Individual Health
Insurance customers.

"I
prefer to do my own research to the best of my ability..."
The
main thing I liked about your site was the immediate online
view of possible insurance choices and their cost without
providing a lot of personal information. I did not
feel I was wasting my time or a broker's time for a product
that I had not researched. I prefer to do my own research
to the best of my ability and use the sales professional
for verification or clarification.
