Family Coverage Scenarios

Some of you may be wondering how likely, on average, it is to experience a high claims year. The statistics below may help you to see that the likelihood of experiencing a very high claims year is fairly low. (These statistics are based upon information received from our benefits consulting firm, Marsh Consulting Group.)

  • 1% of families will experience $100,000 or more in annual claims in any given year.

  • 4% of families will experience about $40,000 in annual claims in any given year.

  • 30% of families will experience about $5,000 in annual claims in any given year.

  • 65% of families will experience about $2,100 or less in annual claims in any given year.

These are simply statistics and you know your family's medical situation the best.  

Out-of-pocket maximums to consider: 

  • HS 2000 - $8,000
  • HS 3000 - $10,000
  • HS 5000 - $10,000 

 Examples to consider 

This chart shows three different family scenarios in annual claims and how this plays out for the HS 1500, HS 3000 and HS 5000 plans.

  • Family 1 — $1,000 or less in annual claims
  • Family 2 — $5,000 in claims

  • Family 3 — $40,000 in claims

  • Family 4 — $100,000 and above in claims

NOTE: This chart takes into account the Reliant Employer HSA Contributions that will help offset your expenses. Additionally, you may receive as much as a 20% tax savings if you elect to personally contribute into your HSA account (employee contributions).
