About HSA Accounts
The best resource to help you decide if you qualify for a HDHP would be your insurance provider or human resources department. If you determine that it is a good option for you, we are happy to help you set up your HSA to partner with your High-Deductible Healthcare Plan. View contribution limits and current interest rates.
HSA Benefits:
HSA funds roll over from year to year and always belong to you, your interest also grows tax deferred. Funds can be used for qualified medical expenses and at the age of 65 may be withdrawn penalty-free.
HSA Owner:
As jobs change or health insurance plans change, it's important to check and make sure that you still qualify for an HSA to avoid any tax penalties. The best source to ask is your health insurance provider or your insurance agent to determine your qualifications. If you no longer qualify, please notify us right away.

Reimbursement Account:
An HSA is meant to act as a reimbursement account. It is a best practice, unless you are sure your insurance will not cover all or part of a charge, to pay for services through a different account initially and wait for all related charges to be submitted through your insurance. After a service has been submitted through insurance for billing, you can then transfer money out of the HSA to cover any costs not covered by the insurance. This practice prevents refunds from then being deposited back into your HSA and potentially creating an excess contribution situation.
Tax-Savings:
HSA deposits are tax deductible and can be used to pay for medical expenses at any time. Consult your tax advisor for details.

In addition to the contribution limits listed above, an annual HSA 'Catch up Contribution' of $1,000 is available for individuals age 55 and older. If contributions are also being made by your employer, you will need to factor in that amount when making your own contributions.
Once you turn 65 or beginning the month you apply for Medicare, (whichever comes first), you are no longer eligible to make contributions to your HSA. If you are turning 65 this year, you may be able to make a prorated contribution. The best resource for finding out if you are eligible for this contribution, and how much you are eligible for, would be your tax advisor. After turning 65, you are still able to use your HSA to pay for qualifying medical expenses.
