Health Savings Account (HSA)
A Health Savings Account (HSA) is a personal savings account you can use to pay for qualified out-of-pocket medical expenses with pretax dollars, now and in the future. Once you’re enrolled in the HSA, you’ll receive a debit card to help manage your HSA reimbursements. Your HSA can also be used for your expenses and those of your spouse and tax dependents up to age 26, even if they are not covered by the Anthem HDHP medical plan.
Your HSA is always yours — no matter what.
One of the best features of an HSA is that any money left in your HSA account at the end of the year rolls over so you can use it next year or sometime in the future. And if you leave the Company or retire, your HSA goes with you so you can continue to pay for or save for future eligible healthcare expenses.
Eligibility
The HSA is not for everyone. You’re eligible only if you are:
- Enrolled in the Anthem HDHP medical plan.
- Not enrolled in other non-HDHP medical coverage, including Medicare, Medicaid, or Tricare.
- Not a tax dependent.
- Not enrolled in a Health Care Flexible Spending Account (FSA). However, you can enroll in a Limited FSA for dental and vision expenses.

You can choose to contribute up to $3,400 if you enroll only yourself or $6,250 if you enroll in family coverage. You can make an additional $1,000 catch-up contribution if you are age 55 or older. The annual IRS maximums (including both employer and employee contributions) are $4,400 if you enroll only yourself or $8,750 if you enroll in family coverage.
Using Your Account
