The Healthy Savings Plan (HSP) is the University’s IRS-qualified high-deductible health plan. It features a broad provider network, the lowest monthly premiums, and higher deductibles, with coinsurance for medical services and prescription drugs until the out-of-pocket limit is reached. The plan can be paired with a Health Savings Account (HSA), including an annual University contribution of up to $1,200, and a Health Payment Account (HPA) to help manage out-of-pocket costs through payroll deduction with no fees or interest.
