Can a health plan that imposes a lifetime limit on benefits still qualify as a high-deductible health plan?
A plan does not fail to be treated as a high-deductible health plan merely because it imposes a reasonable lifetime limit on benefits provided under the plan. In such a case, amounts paid above a lifetime limit will not be treated as out-of-pocket expenses in determining the annual out-of-pocket maximum.
