HSA Common Questions

 

How do I, set up an HSA?

Step one of setting up an HSA is to procure a ‘qualified’ high-deductible health insurance policy.

The first question I hear at this stage is, “what does ‘qualified’ mean?

A: An HSA medical plan has to meet certain criteria determined by IRS regulations, such as;

 An individual deductible can be no lower than $1200 and can be no higher than $5950.

 Prescription drugs are applied to the medical deductible and there is no prescription drug card with co-pays.

 Preventive benefits, such as annual exam, colonoscopy, mammogram can be paid by the insurance company without having to meet the deductible.

Just because you have a high deductible policy doesn't mean that it is HSA qualified. If you are unsure, be sure to check with your insurance company for this determination.
