The Anthem Lumenos medical insurance plan is an affordable benefit-rich policy that provides comprehensive benefits in a simple way. It’s a very low cost Indiana health care option that can also be used in conjunction with an HSA. We’ll help you learn how it can help you and how to qualify for coverage. Here’s how it works:
You select a deductible. The most popular options are $2,500, $3,500 and $5,000. You also pick the coinsurance, which is the percentage of the out-of-pocket expenses you pay after the deductible has been met. Typically, there is a cap so you aren’t subject to more than a few thousand dollars of risk. The 0% coinsurance option is what we recommend most, although the 20% option will be a little bit less expensive. Of course, you may have to pay more if you have a large claim.
Compared to other medical insurance options in Indiana, the Lumenos plan is very attractive. Depending on the number of persons to be insured, you could save between $500 and $4,000 per year. And since the policy is HSA-eligible, you can pick your favorite bank, set up a Health Savings Account, and begin to earn tax breaks for approved medical, vision and dental expenses.
Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield is one of the most respected insurers in the state and most providers participate in their Network. Since Aetna and UniCare no longer offer individual coverage, this policy is more popular than ever! And you will reduce your tax liability by taking advantage of the optional side account to accumulate deposits. And by purchasing direct on our website, you’ll spend less time waiting for a policy to get approved.
Any authorized preventive expense is paid by Anthem. You have no deductible to meet and no coinsurance or waiting period. Although the list of covered preventive items is extensive, the most common may be annual physicals, mammograms, children well visits and OBGYN exams. Other covered health care expenses will be negotiated on your behalf so you pay less than someone who was not insured. Sometimes this discount is only 5%-15%. Other times it may be as much as 75% (blood work is one example).
Here are a few sample monthly rates for the Lumenos HSA 0% coinsurance policy. I based the costs on a healthy 40 year old male living in Wayne County.
$96 $5,500 Deductible
$126 $3,500 Deductible
$155 $2,500 Deductible
$231 $1,500 Deductible
Naturally, rates will vary depending on the number of persons insured, zip code, existing medical conditions and ages of applicants. However, the more persons that are insured on the policy, the more potential savings could result from owning an Anthem Health Savings Account vs. another type of plan. However, we realize that this option is not the perfect fit for every individual or small business owner. For that reason, we provide detailed information on all available types of plans.
