How HSAs Work
When combined with a High Deductible Health Plan (HDHP), a Choice HSA is an attractive option for your employees and your business. We have HSA account holders in all 50 states, and we’ve offered them for over 10 years. Your employees establish an HSA to pay for eligible medical expenses not covered by their High Deductible Health Plan (HDHP).
Contributions can be made by the employers, employee, or any third party on behalf of the account holder.
Contribution maximums are set by the IRS each year and are not limited by your health plan’s deductible amount.
Catch-up contributions are available to an individual and their spouse who have reached the age of 55 and are not enrolled in Medicare.
Are my employees eligible?
Your employees are eligible for an HSA if they are:
- Covered under a High Deductible Health Plan (HDHP).
- Not covered under any other health plan other than the HDHP.
- Not enrolled in Medicare (typically age 65).
- Not claimed as a dependent on someone else’s tax return.
