Key Features of an HSA
The money is owned by the account holder
The funds can be rolled over from year to year, there is no “use-it
or lose-it” rule
Over a period of time, the accounts can accumulate significant assets
that can be used for healthcare tax free
Funds in the HSA can be invested
If an individual no longer has an HSA qualified HDHP, they
cannot contribute to their HSA, but they can continue to spend
or save the funds already deposited
7. 7
Who Is Eligible to Open an HSA?
Participants must be enrolled in an HSA qualified high deductible
health insurance plan (HDHP)
Cannot be covered by any other health insurance that reimburses for
health expenses, unless it is another HSA-qualified high deductible
health plan
Cannot be enrolled in Medicare or Medicaid
Cannot be eligible to be claimed as a dependent on another person’s
tax return
Must be over 18 years of age
8. 8
Why choose an HSA?
A family with a $3,000 deductible, uses
50% of the account every year, saving
$1,500 a year. If you start at age 35,
with the 7% rule (7% average rate of
return every ten years) you could have
$50,000 in savings by age 65.

Just like a 401(k), it is wise to start early to build up savings.

Benefits to Employers
High Deductible Health Plans dramatically lower healthcare costs for
employers, allowing many to provide health benefits they might not
otherwise be able to afford
27% of HDHPs/HSAs in the small group market were sold to
employers that did not previously offer coverage for their employees
HDHPs raise consumer awareness of the real costs of health care,
total health spending is reduced when consumers bear more
responsibility for their healthcare expenses
HDHPs & HSAs are increasing in popularity with 40%-50% expected
annual growth over the next 5 years
The superior product features of The Bancorp HSA can assist in
selling the viability of an HDHP to clients

Editor's Notes
Offers individuals a chance to save – for now - and for unexpected expenses in the future.
7% rule – average rate of return – can be much higher with savvy investing or lower funds usage for expenses
HDHPs are the fastest-growing product in the health benefits industry.
The demand for HDHPs and their HSAs is driven by individuals who lack health insurance, by small businesses that cannot afford to offer their employees more comprehensive health benefits, and by companies seeking to slow the growth of their health care costs
Raise awareness:
Growth should hover between 40% to 50% growth annually over the next five years, - report from Celent LLC, a financial research and consulting firm based in Boston.”
Money owned by account holder - providing added control over healthcare decisions and spending. Balance may continue to grow each year - No “use-it or lose-it” rule! Over a period of time, the accounts can accumulate significant assets that can be used for health care tax-free.
HSAs remain with individuals through employment changes. If an individual no longer has an HSA qualified HDHP, they cannot contribute to their HSA, but they can continue to spend or save the funds already deposited.
Federal income taxes Regardless of how your income was earned, any money you deposit into your Health Savings Account is considered an "above-the-line" deduction, giving you a 100% write-off against adjusted gross income. By reducing your adjusted gross income, you may also qualify for additional tax breaks. For instance, the child tax credit of $1,000 begins to be phased out once a family's adjusted gross income exceeds $110,000. Keep your AGI below this number, and you maintain the full $1,000 tax credit per child.
State: Federal adjusted gross income is also the starting point for most state tax assessments, so saving on your state income tax bill is possible as well. Since HSAs are set up as a Federal Program – Individual states can choose if they wish to comply. Only a few states do not have legislation in place to allow for the tax break: Alabama, California, New Jersey & Wisconsin. (New Hampshire & Tennessee = you must pay taxes on dividends – but not contributions) Washington, D.C. has not indicated its position on HSAs – whether they will offer deductions on state income tax for HSA contributions.
Earn interest tax-free: Like funds in an IRA, the money in your account grows free from federal taxes. You do have to pay taxes if the money is withdrawn for non-medical expenses, but there is no penalty if you are over 65 years old.
Dental expenses --from checkups and cleanings, to braces, to toothpaste, can all be paid for with pre-tax dollars from your HSA account. You may even purchase prepaid dental plans with funds from your HSA account.
Vision care -- You can use HSA funds to pay for checkups, glasses, contact lenses, prescription sunglasses, cleaning fluids, and other expenses related to your eye care.Alternative Care -- Health insurance doesn't typically pay for treatments like chiropractic, acupuncture, homeopathy, ayurvedic medicine, herbal medicine, various forms of "energy" healing, faith healing, or any number of other so-called alternative treatments. One of the advantages of Health Savings Accounts is that the individual consumer has the right to choose their source of medical care, instead of that decision being made by an insurance company or HMO. Therefore, there are very few restrictions on the type of treatment you choose.Household medical expenses -- Virtually all expenses related to the treatment or prevention of a medical condition can be paid from your Health Savings Account. Medicare -- you can use your account to pay Medicare premiums, deductibles, co-pays, and coinsurance under any part of Medicare. If you have retiree health benefits through a former employer, you can also use your HSA to pay for your share of retiree medical insurance premiums. The one expense you cannot use your account for is to purchase a Medicare supplemental insurance or "Medigap" policy.
Long-term care premiums can be paid for from your HSA, up to $260 for those under age 40, $490 if you're between 41 and 50 years, and up to $2,600 if you're 61 years or older.
