Abstract
High deductible health plans (HDHPs) are popular among employers and the marketplace because the consumer has a higher out-of-pocket (OOP) burden due to cost sharing. Although HDHPs have reduced overall healthcare costs, these plans have resulted in deferred needed care, fewer preventative screenings, and a more significant financial burden on the consumer. This article examines how HDHPs' OOP costs impact patients' health and financial security.
