Need some outside perspective on HDP vs PPO plan with newborn on the way.

Hi Everyone,

My wife and I are expecting our first child in July 2024. My company is updating their insurance plans this year and I realized that when we do have our child the PPO (which I'm currently enrolled in) has a large jump in premiums. Prenatal visits are 100% covered in both plans I'm considering. I haven't been on an HSA in almost 10 years and am strongly considering switching back but I wasn't sure if I'm missing something with the new plan changes listed below. At first glance, the HDP appears to come out higher total out of pocket, but I think what is throwing me off is that I'm adding the max contribution to an HSA ($7400) as an added cost as opposed to it offsetting the $8k OOP. Hoping anyone can shed some light on experience especially with newborns and insurance!

Thank you!
