Aetna - High-Deductible PPO 2 Plan

  • Lower premiums
  • High deductible, then no charge for most visits and services
  • Allows you to open a tax-advantaged HSA

The Aetna Advantage High-Deductible PPO 2 Plan, an insurance plan underwritten by Aetna Life Insurance Company, is designed to work in conjunction with your Health Savings Account (HSA) contributions, which allow you to pay for qualified medical expenses on a tax-advantaged* basis. You'll enjoy premium payments that are among the lowest we offer. Your annual deductible will be higher than with most other plans, but after it's been reached, you pay nothing for office visits, hospitalization or other services.
