Frequently Asked Questions

What is a healthy BMI range?

For adults, BMI under 18.5 is underweight, 18.5–24.9 is normal weight, 25–29.9 is overweight, and 30 or above is obese. These thresholds apply to most adults but may differ for older adults, children, and some ethnic groups where health risks occur at lower BMI values.

Is BMI accurate for athletes?

BMI is a rough population-level screening tool, not a precise individual measure. Muscular athletes often have a high BMI despite low body fat because muscle weighs more than fat. A 200 lb bodybuilder and a 200 lb sedentary person have the same BMI, but very different health profiles.

Should I choose the high-deductible plan to save on premiums?

A high-deductible plan (HDHP) makes sense if you are healthy, rarely use healthcare, and want to pair it with a Health Savings Account (HSA). If you have chronic conditions or visit doctors frequently, a lower-deductible plan often costs less overall despite higher premiums.

What is a deductible vs a copay?

A deductible is what you pay out-of-pocket before insurance kicks in — for example, $1,500 before insurance covers services. A copay is a fixed amount you pay per visit after meeting your deductible, such as $25 per doctor visit.
