This plan provides the same level of coverage as regular Plan F, except that coverage will kick in after you meet your calendar year deductible.2 This is the amount you must pay in out-of-pocket medical expenses before your plan starts sharing costs.
The tradeoff for a high deductible plan is a much lower monthly premium. This plan may be most suitable for someone who has fewer health expenses throughout the year. High Deductible Plan F is only available if you first became eligible for Medicare before January 1, 2020 (which means your 65th birthday occurred before January 1, 2020) or you qualified for Medicare due to a disability before January 1, 2020.
