Health Savings Account
26
Insurance Plan with
Deductible
Health Savings Account
HDHP/HSA (Insurance Protection w/ Savings
Vehicle)
• HSA is owned by the individual
• You can contribute $ to an HSA
account, on a pre-tax basis, to
pay for qualifying expenses
• Hanover is contributing $1,200
to employees and $2,400 to
employees + dependents to the
to fund the HSA;
• Some employers contribute and
some do not, Hanover may alter
this contribution each year at
Open Enrollment
All Rights ReservedDigital Benefit Advisors
Who can select an HSA?
• You must be enrolled in the qualified high deductible health
plan
• Cannot be enrolled in Medicare (usually 65+) and contribute
funds to the account
– However, HSA funds can be used when enrolled in Medicare for
qualifying expenses not covered by Medicare
• Cannot be covered by another health insurance plan
• Cannot be enrolled in TriCare, or have had VA benefits in the
last 90 days
• Cannot be eligible to be claimed as a dependent on another’s
tax return (does not apply to joint filing)
• Can not be enrolled in a medical Flexible Spending Account
(you or spouse) and put funds in an HSA27
All Rights ReservedDigital Benefit Advisors
What if I am in the FSA
today?
• Hanover offers an FSA with a 2.5 month extension (1/1 –
12/31 + Extension to 3/15)
• If you enroll in the HDHP, you cannot contribute to the HSA if
money is still in your FSA after 1/1/14
• If there is a $0 balance on 1/1/14, then you can open the HSA
and contribute
• If a spouse is enrolled in an FSA and they have a different
plan year than Hanover, employees can only contribute to the
HSA once the spouse’s plan year is over
– There is no exception and no way to get around this.
28
All Rights ReservedDigital Benefit Advisors
Advantages of the HSA
• Vested immediately – it is your $$$, including
County contributions
• Portable – it is your account and you can build it
over time
• NO “use it or lose it”
• Can usually invest $ and/or elect a debit card
• Money must be in the account to spend, it is not
pre-funded
• Money in account will pass on to your
spouse/beneficiary
29
All Rights ReservedDigital Benefit Advisors
Tax Advantages of the HSA
• Will not pay State, Federal or FICA taxes on
money contributed through payroll deductions
• If contributing post-tax money (not part of
payroll), will be able to claim when filing taxes,
but you will miss the FICA tax savings
• Payroll deductions are deposited pre-tax,
investments/interest can grow tax-free, money
can be withdrawn with no tax consequences for
allowed expenses (similar to FSA)
30
All Rights ReservedDigital Benefit Advisors
Contributions
• Contribution limits
• There is no minimum contribution.

you enroll in a QHDHP plan.

HSA Summary
• An HDHP+HSA is an attractive opportunity for you to
build up a non-taxed savings account to offset future
expenses and to manage your deductible exposure
• An HDHP+HSA adds to personal responsibility but puts
you in the driver’s seat to manage your health care and
related expenses

• There are two types of FSAs in which employees may participate:
1. Unreimbursed Medical (URM) for medical expenses you pay out of pocket for yourself and your eligible dependents such as copayments, deductibles, eye glasses, dental work, orthodontics, prescriptions, etc.
2. Dependent Day Care (DDC) for expenses outside of your household for the care of a dependent.

All Rights ReservedDigital Benefit Advisors
Flexible Spending Account
• Participants receive a Visa Debit Card through WageWorks
• Your Debit Card will be accepted at your doctor’s office, pharmacy, hospital, dental office or your vision care provider as well as most dependent care providers
• Your card does not eliminate the need for receipt substantiation. IRS regulations require that you retain documentation to substantiate expenses.
• Over-the-Counter (OTC) drugs are NOT reimbursable as a medical expense unless you have a prescription for the OTC drug
• All employees wishing to participate for calendar year 2015 MUST complete a new Election Form (even if you are currently participating in this program).
