How do Health Savings Medical Plans work with an HSA??
DEDUCTIBLE. You pay 100% of the medical and prescription expenses until your deductible is met. (Remember Preventive Care is covered at 100%)
COINSURANCE: After you meet your deductible, you move on to the coinsurance portion of your plan which is a cost-sharing level of coverage. You pay a certain percentage of the eligible medical expenses, and the insurance carrier will pay the rest.
OUT-OF-POCKET MAXIMUM: Your coinsurance will continue until you hit your out-of-pocket maximum. Once you meet your out-of-pocket maximum your plan pays 100% of your eligible medical expenses.
It’s Your To Keep
Any unspent funds in your account remain yours, allowing you to grow a balance over time. When you reach age 65 you can withdraw the money (without penalty) and use to for anything, including non-healthcare expenses.
Smart Savings
The HSA’s unique, triple-tax savings means the money you contribute, earnings from investments and withdrawals for eligible expenses are all tax-free, making it a savvy savings and retirement tool.
