6关键说明 Key notes

合规声明 / Disclaimer. 本工具给出的是 gateway 最低成本的设计示意,不是已通过测试的结果。New Comparability 必须每年由 TPA / enrolled actuary 跑 rate-group(general test)与 average benefits / coverage 测试认证;实际能否通过、NHCE 是否需高于 gateway,取决于具体 census 人口结构,且逐年可能变化。另需满足 404 的 25% 总扣除限制。本内容为教育性示意,非税务 / 法律建议,请与 TPA 及 CPA 确认。 Illustration of gateway-minimum design only — not a tested result. New comparability must be certified annually by a TPA/actuary (rate-group, average benefits, coverage). Whether it passes and whether NHCEs need more than the gateway depends on census demographics and can change yearly. Educational only; confirm with your TPA and CPA.
