How HSAs Work

Employees consistently rank healthcare as one of the most important benefits. That’s why Choice works with Lively to provide you access to a modern and low-cost Health Savings Account (HSA). Through Lively’s intuitive online HSA administration platform and robust education resources, you can offer employees a top-rated HSA that helps them prepare for healthcare needs. Enjoy streamlined administration and unparalleled support, without sacrificing the bottom line. Your employees establish an HSA to pay for eligible out-of-pocket medical, dental, and vision expenses.

Are my employees eligible?

Your employees are eligible for an HSA if they are:

  • Covered under a qualified High Deductible Health Plan (HDHP).
  • Not covered under any other health plan other than a HDHP.
  • Not enrolled in Medicare (typically age 65).
  • Not claimed as a dependent on someone else’s tax return.

Triple Tax Savings

If your employees are eligible, an HSA can provide significant tax benefits. We often refer to them as “triple tax savings”:

  1. Tax-Deductible Contributions: Contribute up to the IRS maximum, and enjoy tax savings in an account that exclusively covers eligible medical expenses. HSAs cover the person who establishes the account and dependents covered under the High Deductible Health Plan.
  2. Tax-Deferred Growth: Their HSA funds grow without being subject to taxes, unless they use them for non-eligible medical expenses.
  3. Tax-Free Withdrawals: Employee funds may be withdrawn tax-free, as long as they use them for eligible medical expenses. Like many retirement accounts, funds roll over from year to year with no “use it or lose it” rules. If the employee waits until after age 65, their funds may be used tax-free for eligible medical expenses, or at their normal tax rate for other purposes.
