Notes for high-deductible plan members
If you’re enrolled in a High Deductible health plan, use the app’s spending visualizations to see accumulated costs, remaining deductibles, and how close you are to meeting coverage thresholds.
Optional companion
Consider pairing the app with a complementary tool (for example, a budgeting or benefits-tracking app) if you prefer separate expense management; many such utilities are available free.
