A high-deductible health plan (HDHP) is a type of health insurance plan that has a lower monthly premium but a higher deductible. This means that you will have to pay more out-of-pocket for medical expenses before your insurance coverage kicks in. The deductible for an HDHP is typically higher than the deductible for a traditional health insurance plan.
The IRS sets the maximum deductible limits for HDHPs each year. For 2025, the maximum deductible limit for an HDHP is $1,500 for an individual and $3,000 for a family.
