A hybrid plan is a balance between an Insured benefits plan and Health Care Spending Account (HCSA).

Insured Benefits Plan is as follows –

  • Conventional benefits plan Premium rates are set annually in advance by the insurer, as Percentage of reimbursement / based on TLR (Total Loss Ratios), eligible and ineligible expenses, and annual and lifetime maximums, are all defined.Typically includes Life, AD&D, Long Term Disability, Extended Healthcare, and Dental Care.
  • Insurer controls costs

HCSA (Health Care Spending Account)

  • Contribution amount per employee defined annually in advance by plan sponsor
  • Employees can claim from their HCSA as they incur; Canada Revenue Agency defines the eligible expenses.
  • Employer controls costs

A Hybrid Plan combines the advantages of both the conventional Insured benefits plans and HCSAs, which results in a very flexible and cost-effective solution.
