Health insurance terminology • Health Savings Account, HSA: A savings account that allows employees to put aside pretax dollars to pay for out of pocket medical expenses. • In-network: Providers or health care facilities that are part of a health plan’s network. The insurance negotiates a discount with these providers which usually results in lower costs to the member. • Out-of-network: A provider that is outside of the network of doctors, hospitals or health care providers. Usually results in higher costs to the member. • Plan year: Period of coverage under a group health plan. ASU’s plan year runs from January 1 through December 31.
