You’ll probably need to provide more details about the premiums, deductibles, and out-of-pocket maximums of PPO vs HDHP, projected healthcare costs (at least your current year costs so far), and how much you are able to stomach for the cost now vs later

PPO might be better if you can stomach the premiums and hit your deductible early enough. HDHP might be better if you can stomach the higher deductible and reimburse yourself years down the line after your HSA has had some time to be invested and grow from its investments

It’s hard to say without concrete numbers and only going based off thoughts and feelings

Edited the OP with a overview of the plans. Thank you for the reply!

CmdrShepard ,

Your image doesn’t include the cost of the premiums. My work offers similar types of plans except the HDHP is ‘free’ while the PPO has premiums totalling $5-6k per year. For us, it makes zero sense to use the PPO since it’s guaranteed to cost at least $5-6k whether we see a doctor or not. With the HDHP, the theoretical minimum cost for the year is $0 if we never go to the doctor but realistically we usually get close or hit our family deductible but it’s still cheaper than the PPO.

Ah, sorry about that. The plans vary from ~150-300 per paycheck. I’ll have to check the details a bit more.
