Consumer Driven Health Plan

A CDHP (Consumer Driven Health Plan) is a specific type of high deductible health plan that meets IRS requirements allowing it to be coupled with a tax-advantaged personal Health Savings Account (HSA) to offset qualified health expenses.

All employees will have access to the HSA; however, funding into the HSA is not available under specific circumstances (i.e., enrolled in Medicare). For those ineligible for an HSA, the College will provide the same level of funding through a Health Reimbursement Account (HRA).

As part of the communication and awareness plan, the College has used various mediums to disseminate information about the CDHP plan – which will be the only health plan option available.

This introductory video is accompanied by several other YouTube videos that have been produced in response to FAQ’s from our institutional community. We encourage everyone to select and watch those videos that are important to them.

Health Savings Accounts (HSA's) provide a tax-advantage method to pay for eligible medical expenses such as deductibles and coinsurance. You own and control the money in your HSA; you decide how and when to use the money to pay for Eligible Medical Expenses or save it for future needs.

Oberlin College will fully fund the College's annual contribution amount into your HSA account even if you do not contribute your own dollars. You are not required to complete any requirements for the Oberlin College contribution amounts. 

These HSA dollars can be used to cover 100% of HSA-eligible expenses. If dollars remain at year-end, they roll over for you to use in the future. The HSA account is owned by you and is also portable; you take it with you if you leave the plan or the college.

Employees who participate in the CDHP with HSA plan have the option to fund your HSA account with pre-tax payroll deductions. The Internal Revenue Service sets contribution limits annually for HSA’s. Each calendar year HSA employee contributions are terminated on December 31. You must renew this benefit annually. To fund your HSA through payroll complete our HSA Enrollment Form.

Customer Service can support you regarding account balances, setup investment options, pay bills, transfer funds and navigation starting My Health Plan regarding the Medical Mutual HSA.
