Flexible Spending & Health Savings

FSA - Flexible Spending Accounts

The FSA is an optional savings account in which an employee elects to create an account with anywhere from a minimum of $250 annually to a maximum of $2,850 annually (2022). Once the employee determines what is best for them that dollar amount is divided by 20 and deducted from each paycheck over 20 pay periods. The funds are preloaded onto a debit card and available to use immediately. However, only $570 (2022) will roll over each year.

HSA - Health Savings Accounts

The HSA is an available option when an employee chooses our 5180/5181 high deductible insurance plan. The employee may contribute to the health savings account and the payments are deducted from each paycheck over 20 pay periods and deposited into a special checking account. This money is always the employee's money; unused funds will roll over each year.

Due to IRS requirements, HSA enrollees using our Wellness Center are responsible for a $25 fee per visit

Your funds are available as soon as they are deposited and you can use your money in two ways:

Pay for out-of-pocket costs when you receive
medical, prescription, dental, or vision care
Leave the money in your account so it will carry
over from year-to-year and grow tax-free
Please remember that you’ll need to enroll in our HDHP + HSA plan to join our HSA.
Remember, you cannot contribute to an HSA if you’re in another medical plan (including Medicare or TRICARE) or are a dependent on someone else’s tax return. In these cases, you can still enroll in the HDHP plan, but you’ll need to opt out of the HSA. any HSA withdrawals that are used for non-qualified expenses will be subject to taxation per IRS regulations

How it Works:

Examples

Employee A has an individual HSA

$900 annual contribution
$0 (No income tax is applied)
$900 Tax-free money to cover medical expenses

Employee B does not have an HSA

$900 annual medical expenses

-$225 (25% federal income tax)

$675 Post-tax money to cover medical expenses
