Open Enrollment News: Kaiser high-deductible health plan limit changes

Kaiser Permanente has made changes to both the calendar year deductibles and out of pocket maximums for its high-deductible plan effective Jan. 1, 2020.

The calendar year deductible will be $2,800 for single coverage and $5,600 for family coverage. While the updated out of pocket maximum will be $5,600 for single coverage and $11,200 for family coverage.

This was not a change initiated by University of the Pacific; Kaiser made this change in response to the 2020 cost of living adjustments by the Internal Revenue Service.

To find more information on high-deductible health plans and health savings accounts, and if they are right for you, visit Pacific’s HSA website. You will find many resources such as a HDHP and HSA Overview Presentation and an HSA Basics Presentation

Open enrollment for 2020 employee benefits ends Sunday, Nov. 24, for all three campuses. This is a mandatory enrollment and everyone must elect their benefits even if making no changes or opting to waive coverage.
