Health Savings Account (HSA) plan

World Insurance offers an excellent Health Savings Account (HSA) plan. An HSA is a savings accounts that is coupled with a World Insurance high-deductible health plan. You can deposit tax-deductible money into the HSA and use it to pay health care expenses throughout the year that aren't covered by your World Insurance plan.

In many parts of the country, World Insurance is the only HAS qualified plan available that offers optional coverage for maternity services. Since quotes for the maternity rider are not available online, you will need to call one of our expert advisors at 866-749-2039 for pricing. When added, this benefit covers 100% of the cost of a routine delivery after you have paid a $2500 deductible. This helps pay pregnancy-related expenses such as prenatal care, delivery, newborn hospital costs, and postpartum care after delivery. Benefits will be payable for pregnancies beginning after a six month waiting period.

Before HSA legislation went into place, the majority of our business with World Insurance was their catastrophic Value Advantage plans. Since HSAs went into effect, World's HD Advantage plan is often a very good option, particularly for those over age 55. Each calendar year, includes deductible.

note that expenses from non-PPO providers are subject to the usual and customary charge limitation described in the World Insurance brochure.
