  Introduction to HSA Programs

  Overview of Celtic’s Product Portfolio
Introduction to
Health Savings Account Programs
Health Savings Account Programs help address…
      The growing number of individuals and families with no
      health insurance
         Research shows that people of all ages and income levels are
         choosing HSA Programs to meet their needs

      The rising cost of health care
         Consumers are experiencing rising costs for medical services,
         drugs, supplies, and insurance premiums
         HSA Programs provide major medical coverage and a savings
         account to help manage health care costs

      Increasing popularity of consumer-driven health plans
         Consumers are taking more control over how their health
         care needs are met and financed
         The U.S. Treasury Department projects that by 2010,
         HSAs will grow to cover 25-45 million people*

Two Components of an HSA Program
 Consumers must have coverage under an HSA-qualified
 “High Deductible Health Plan” (HDHP) to open and
 contribute to a Health Savings Account.

      Qualified HDHP             Health Savings

          Plan
Why are consumers buying HSAs?
     HSA Programs give you:
         More control over how your health care needs are met
         and financed:
            you may price-shop, ask more questions, get more
            involved in prevention and treatment

         Tax savings
            tax deductions on HSA contributions
            tax-free withdrawals for qualified medical expenses
            tax-free earnings on dollars accumulating in the HSA

         Health insurance coverage – protection against high or
         unexpected medical bills
         Account ownership and portability

Who can have an HSA?
    Any adult can contribute to an HSA if they:
       are covered under an HSA-qualified HDHP
       (such as the CelticSaver HSA)

       have no other first-dollar medical coverage (other types of
       insurance like specific injury insurance or accident, disability,
       dental care, vision care, or LTC insurance are permitted)

       are not entitled to benefits under Medicare

       can’t be claimed as a dependent on someone
       else’s tax return

HSA Contributions – the basics
         Annual tax-deductible contribution can be up to
         the IRS allowed maximums. For 2009:
            Single coverage: $3,000
            Family coverage: $5,950

         Contributions can be made by the account holder,
         employer, or both. The account holder takes the tax
         deduction.

         Contributions can be made in one or more payments
         at any time prior to April 15 of the following year.

         People between the ages of 55 and 65 can
         make additional “catch up” contributions.
         For 2009: $1,000

HSA Qualified Expenses
You can use the money in your savings account to pay for
many types of medical expenses, even some that are excluded
from your insurance plan. Some examples:

  Rx drugs                                    Allergy medicine
  OTC drugs                                   Oxygen equipment
  Chiropractic care                           Band-aids
  Reading glasses                             Doctor’s fees
  Diaper rash treatment
                                              Dental services
  Maternity
  Elective surgery (i.e. Lasik)

Visit http://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/p502.pdf for more information
about qualified medical expenses.
HSA Qualified Expenses
       Generally, health insurance premiums are not qualified
       expenses, except for the following:

          Qualified long-term care insurance
          COBRA health care continuation coverage
          Health care coverage while an individual is receiving
          unemployment compensation
          Medicare premiums and out-of-pocket expenses,
          including deductibles, copays, and coinsurance for
          Parts A,B,C, and D.
          Visit http://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/p502.pdf for more information
          about qualified medical expenses.

Disbursements – the basics


          Withdrawals from an HSA used for qualified medical
          expenses are tax-free if taken for the insured individual,
          spouse, or dependent. The spouse and dependent(s)
          do not need to be covered by the underlying HDHP.

          Withdrawals not used for qualified medical expenses
          are included in gross income for tax purposes and are
          taxed an additional 10%.
