Health Savings Account

A personal tax-free savings account for healthcare expenses and investing

Use the below information to determine if a Health Savings Account (HSA) is right for you and how to best take advantage of an HSA account.

How It Works

You can enroll in a Health Savings Account (HSA) to experience tax savings on qualified healthcare expenses such as copays, deductibles, prescriptions, over-the-counter drugs and medications, and prescriptions. There is no use-or-lose rule, meaning you can save and invest when you can or spend on eligible healthcare expenses as needed.

To enroll in a HSA, you must already be enrolled in an HSA-qualifying high deductible health plan (HDHP). As a married couple, one spouse cannot be enrolled in an FSA at the same time the other is contributing to an HSA.

The Value & Perks

• Triple Tax Savings: Every dollar you contribute to an HSA lowers your taxable income, funds grow tax-free, and withdrawals for qualified expenses are tax-free.

• Employee-Owned: It’s a personal savings account owned by you. Which means you can keep it even if you switch health plans, change jobs, or retire. You’ll receive an Ameriflex Debit Mastercard linked to your HSA that can be used for eligible purchases everywhere Mastercard is accepted.

• Investing & Saving: You can save and invest your funds with over 30 investment options. HSA funds roll over year to year, allowing long-term growth if there are no immediate spending needs.

• Catch-Up Contributions: Individuals ages 55 and older who are not enrolled in Medicare can make an additional $1,000 catch-up contribution to their HSA.
