  • What is a Health Savings Account (HSA)? An HSA works with a High Deductible Health Plan (HDHP) and allows you to set aside a portion of your paycheck before taxes into a bank account to help you pay for medical expenses before you reach your deductible or that arent covered by your plan. HSA Advantages: Tax-deductible Contributions to the HSA are 100% deductible (up to the legal limit) just like an IRA. 2015 Calendar Year Maximum Deduction $3,350/year single $6,650/year - family Tax-free Withdrawals to pay qualified medical expenses, including dental and vision, are never taxed. Tax-deferred Interest earnings accumulate tax-deferred, and if used to pay qualified medical expenses, are tax-free. HSA money is yours to keep Unused money in your HSA rolls over from year to year; it continues to grow tax-deferred; you can take it with you even if you change jobs. You are eligible to enroll in an HSA if you are enrolled in TRS-ActiveCare 1-HD. Health Saving Account (HSA)
  • Slide 32
  • HSA Eligibility & Plan Highlights You must participate in a High Deductible Health Plan (HDHP) to be eligible to contribute to an HSA (TRS-ActiveCare 1-HD). Lump Sum deposits are available as well as monthly contributions through payroll deduction. You will be issued a Visa Debit card you can use to pay for approved medical expenses. An HSA works differently than an FSA - you only have access to the balance of funds in your account (similar to a checking account). Monies are not front-loaded for the year. Youll be given access to a secure, easy-to-use web portal to track your account balance. Request reimbursement distributions online for purchases not made with your debit card (payment will be made based on your available funds). An employee making contributions to an HSA is only eligible to participate in a Limited- Purpose Healthcare Flexible Spending Account (FSA). Health Saving Account (HSA)
  • Slide 33
