Can the health plan be network-based?
A. Yes, as long as the plan has a deductible tied to network-based services. For example, a plan with both in-network and out-of-network coverage would qualify, as long as there is a deductible tied to in-network services, and that deductible meets the threshold for single or family coverage according to Internal Revenue Service guidelines. A separate, out-of-network deductible can be applied to out-of-network services and could be greater, but not less than, the IRS limits.
