Opening an HSA
Health Savings Account (HSA) BENEFITS
A Health Savings Account (HSA) is a personal savings account where the money can only be used for eligible medical expenses. Unlike a flexible spending account (FSA), the money rolls over year to year however only those funds that have been deposited in your account can be used.
You can use the money in your HSA to pay for qualified medical expenses now or in the future. You can also use HSA funds to pay health care expenses for your dependents, even if they are not covered under your HDHP.
EECU EMPLOYEE
Contributions to a Health Savings Account can only be used if you are also enrolled in a High Deductible Health Care Plan (HDHP). For full plan details, please visit your benefit website: www.mybenefitshub.com/splendoraisd
A type of personal savings account, an HSA is always yours even if you change health plans or jobs. The money in your HSA (including interest and investment earnings) grows tax free and spends tax free if used to pay for qualified medical expenses. There is no “use it or lose it” rule you do not lose your money if you do not spend it in the calendar year and there are no vesting requirements or forfeiture provisions. The account automatically rolls over year after year.
• Not enrolled in a Health Care Flexible Spending Account, nor should your spouse be contributing towards a Health Care Flexible Spending Account
• You may open an HSA at the financial institution of your choice, but only accounts opened through EECU are eligible for automatic payroll deduction and company contributions.
• You, not your employer, are responsible for maintaining ALL records and receipts for HSA reimbursements in the event of an IRS audit.
How to Use your HSA
• Not receiving Veterans Administration benefits
You decide whether to use the money in your account to pay for qualified expenses or let it grow for future use. If you are 55 or older, you may make a yearly catch up contribution of up to $1,000 to your HSA. If you turn 55 at any time during the plan year, you are eligible to make the catch up contribution for the entire plan year.
• Family (filing jointly) $7,300

The Dependent Care FSA helps pay for expenses associated with caring for elder or child dependents so you or your spouse can work or attend school full time. You can use the account to pay for day care or baby sitter expenses for your children under age 13 and qualifying older dependents, such as dependent parents. Reimbursement from your Dependent Care FSA is limited to the total amount deposited in your account at that time. To be eligible, you must be a single parent or you and your spouse must be employed outside the home, disabled or a full time student.
• If your child turns 13 midyear, you may only request reimbursement for the part of the year when the child is under age 13.

ABOUT FSA
• Hearing aids and batteries You may not contribute to a Health Care FSA if you enrolled in a High Deductible Health Plan (HDHP) and contribute to a Health Savings Account (HSA).
The Higginbotham Benefits Debit Card gives you immediate access to funds in your Health Care FSA when you make a purchase without needing to file a claim for reimbursement. If you use the debit card to pay anything other than a copay amount, you will need to submit an itemized receipt or an Explanation of Benefits (EOB). If you do not submit your receipts, you will receive a request for substantiation. You will have 60 days to submit your receipts after receiving the request for substantiation before your debit card is suspended. Check the expiration date on your card to see when you should order a replacement card(s).

Unlike traditional insurance, which pays a benefit to the hospital or doctor, this plan pays you directly based on the care or treatment you receive. These costs may include meals and transportation, childcare or time away from work due to a medical issue that requires hospitalization.
This is an affordable supplemental plan that pays you should you be in patient hospital confined. This plan complements your health insurance by helping you pay for costs left unpaid by your health insurance.

Cancer Insurance Treatment for cancer is often lengthy and expensive. While your health insurance helps pay the medical expenses for cancer treatment, it does not cover the cost of non medical expenses, such as out of town treatments, special diets, daily living and household upkeep. In addition to these non medical expenses, you are responsible for paying your health plan deductibles and/or coinsurance. Cancer insurance through American Public Life helps pay for these direct and indirect treatment costs so you can focus on your health. Should you need to file a claim contact APL at 800 256 8606 or online at www.ampublic.com. You can find additional claim forms and materials at www.mybenefitshub.com/splendoraisd.
