The HBAA Health Plan is a high deductible plan with BlueCross BlueShield of Alabama. There is a secondary insurance option offered through Nationwide Insurance that can be elected to increase the benefit of the BCBS plan. Combining primary and secondary insurance creates maximum savings for the plan’s participants.

Secondary insurance pays most deductibles and out-of-pocket expenses up to the policy limit after your primary medical plan has paid its covered expenses. For the HBAA High Plan, your secondary coverage pays a total of $5,000 toward your deductible and out-of-pocket maximum, meaning you only have to pay $2,000 of your own money. To receive full benefits, be sure to give your doctor both your primary insurance card and your secondary insurance card.
