Plan savings - district with 536 employees

Real-life example of one district's possible health plan savings

Compare coverages and costs of PriorityPOSSM plus PriorityHSASM (our point-of-service health plan combined with a health savings account) with the MESSA health plan. All figures were taken from an actual quote - the numbers speak for themselves.  

Notes about this Priority Health quote:
  • A deductible applies.
  • Employer fully funds all employee HSAs and still experiences reduced costs.
  • HSA funds cover employee deductible; employee pays only copays.
