World Insurance HD Advantage

With this plan, the deductible only needs to be met once per family per year. After you have met your deductible, the plan pays 100% of all covered expenses, up to either $2 or $5 million per person. There is also an option for 50% of 80% coverage, with a co-insurance limit of $10,000. Routine doctor visits and out patient prescription drugs are not covered by this plan, even after the deductible has been met, unless the Comprehensive HSA Benefit rider is included.

Foreign travel is also covered for 60 days, with a $100,000 lifetime limit.

This plan qualifies as HSA-eligible. Combining a Health Savings Account with any the World High Deductible Health 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 Riders:

Comprehensive HSA Benefit

The HD Advantage program does not cover outpatient doctor visits or prescription drugs unless this optional rider is added. This optional benefit cannot be added to your policy after you apply for coverage. It provides the following additional benefits.

1. Rx Benefits - subject to deductible and coinsurance. Prescription drugs or medicines for a covered illness or injury when prescribed by a physician and dispensed by a licensed pharmacist.

2. Physician Office Visit Benefits - subject to deductible and coinsurance for medical services provided by a physician.

3. Outpatient Services - subject to deductible and coinsurance. Services include, but are not limited to, physical,
occupational, speech and manipulative therapy, and diagnostic testing.

4. Wellness Benefits - a maximum of $150 first dollar coverage for wellness benefits per covered person, per calendar year. Eligibility starts for each covered person 12 months after the plan is effective for that covered individual.

Maternity Benefit

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. The cost to add this optional coverage to any World Insurance policy is $212.26 per month.

Critical Illness Benefit

Cash benefits paid directly to you to spend as you wish if you are diagnosed with a critical illness. Benefits will be paid according to the schedule in your insurance contract, up to $25,000 per illness. Available to applicants age 19 and older.
