HSA Overview

The Inspira Financial (fka Payflex) Health Savings Account (HSA) is a tax-advantaged interest bearing checking account. The HSA money can be used to help pay the cost of out-of-pocket medical and prescription drug expenses or be used for long term investment purposes.

Details

The SCM HDHP PPO medical plan provides you with 100% Preventive Care in-network coverage. In addition to any contributions made by SCM through its Wellness Program, you may make additional contributions to your HSA account up to the IRS annual maximum (individual $4,300; and Family $8,550). The money in your HSA account can be used towards any qualified medical expense. Qualified medical expenses are expenses that generally qualify for the medical, dental, vision, and orthodontia deductions defined by the IRS. Once you satisfy your medical plan Deductible, you pay your coinsurance for medical expenses for the rest of the calendar year. You also only pay the prescription copays for the rest of the calendar year.

If I Don't Use It, Will I Lose It?

HSA money is your money, always. The money in your account rolls over from year to year. You won’t lose your unused balance at the end of the year like you would with a FSA. Your savings and earnings are always yours. It’s yours to keep.

Because HSAs are tax-advantaged, the government has established specific rules about participating in and funding an HSA. Our plan guidelines also govern the method and timing of the contributions that you can make to your HSA. A partial listing of some of the important HSA rules are below:

Rule #1

The High Deductible PPO plan has an aggregate family deductible and family out-of-pocket maximum. This means that if you cover your dependents, you must pay the total family deductible before the plan begins to share costs with you. You must also meet the total family out-of-pocket maximum before the plan pays 100% of the usual, customary and reasonable charges for covered services. Funds deferred into the HSA through biweekly payroll deductions can be used for these costs.

Rule #2

There are specific rules about using or opening an HSA if you or your dependents are currently entitled to or enrolled in Medicare. Please visit the IRS website for more information.

Rule #3

You may make pre-tax contributions to your HSA through payroll deductions. However, the maximum amount of your HSA contributions cannot exceed $4,300 for single coverage and $8,550 for family coverage.

Rule #4

In California and New Jersey, state income taxes will apply to your HSA contributions. Although your own HSA contributions will not be subject to federal income taxes, in these states you will still be responsible for state income taxes on the money deposited into your HSA.
