Health Savings Account

What Is An HSA?

The Health Savings Account (HSA) is an account that helps you save money for eligible health care expenses—now and in the future. Money contributed to an HSA is completely tax-free when used for eligible health care expenses:

  • No tax when the money goes into your account, which lowers taxable income so you pay less taxes today;
  • No tax when the money comes out to pay for your eligible health care expenses;
  • No tax on the money you earn when you invest your HSA contributions in mutual funds and other assets.

You can use the HSA to pay for eligible health care expenses, like prescription drugs, visits to the doctor, and even dental and vision care. In addition to the tax advantages, McLeod will contribute up to the annual maximum based on your coverage tier. Fidelity may require additional forms of identification from account holders. If requirements are not met, the account will be closed after 90 days. McLeod contribution will be made after all requirements are met by the account holder.

Are You Eligible For The HSA?

You must enroll in the High Deductible Health Plan to be eligible for the HSA. In addition, you may NOT be eligible if:

  • You or your spouse are participating in a Health Care Flexible Spending Account (Health Care FSA)
  • You are enrolled in Medicare
  • You are claimed as a dependent on another person’s tax return
  • You are a veteran who has received medical treatment through the Veterans Health Administration within the last three months (excluding all dental care, vision care, preventive prescription drugs and preventive medical treatments for you or your children, or treatments received related to a disability incurred while in military service)

How The HSA Works

HSA Saving Advantages Add Up

  • Unused funds remain in your account and can grow—with interest—from year to year.
  • There are no “use it or lose it” rules for HSAs (like there are for FSAs). So, you can save your HSA funds for future health care needs—such as retiree medical expenses.
  • An HSA allows you to save for the future—tax-free.
  • The HSA is portable—you can take it with you when you leave or retire.
  • The HSA is one way to fund eligible medical expenses before you become Medicare-eligible.
  • And, when you take charge of your health and manage how your health care dollars are spent, you can keep more money in your HSA.
  • For more details about Health Savings Accounts, see Publication 969 at www.irs.gov. For more information, go to Businessolver at www.McLeodOracle.org.

How To Use Your HSA

To get started with your Fidelity HSA, register your online account at www.netbenefits.com, click the open/activate link in the Health Savings Account tile, then follow the online instructions. You will receive a Fidelity debit card connected to your HSA account that you can use like any personal debit or credit card to pay for health care expenses directly. When using your HSA card, select the “pay as credit” option to avoid transaction fees. While you do not need to submit any receipts to Fidelity, you must save your bills and receipts for tax purposes.

Any balance left in your HSA rolls over from year to year, and it’s yours to keep.

  • Contact a Fidelity HSA service specialist at 800-544-3716 with questions.
