Contribution Limits
Please keep in mind that the federal government sets limits on how much you can contribute to an HSA in a tax calendar year. The table below displays the current HSA contribution limits. Current contribution information can be found on the U.S. Department of Treasury website at treas.gov.
Provider: Flex Made Easy
Eligibility: Medical HDHP Plan D Enrollees are the only employees eligible for an HSA
Overview: A Health Savings Account (HSA) is a savings account that offers tax benefits and can be used to pay for medical expenses. Discounts apply for In-Network providers. There are several benefits of an HSA, including: Your payroll contributions are made with pretax dollars, which may help lower your tax bill. The funds in your account do not expire at the end of the year. You can keep them as long as you want to. The funds in your account are yours to keep even if you change jobs. Using the account is easy. Most HSAs will issue a debit card to you. If you use the debit card to immediately pay for your eligible medical expenses, you won't have to go through a reimbursement process. Health care costs have escalated at a rapid rate over the past decade. The combination of a lower monthly premium payment and an HSA account--designed to help people pay for health care expenses with significant tax savings--is an ideal way to save and pay for health care needs now and in the future.
In a traditional health plan, the insurer sets limits for what is covered under the premium. The HSA, in contrast, can be used for a wide range of expenses, limited only by legislation and IRS guidelines. However, it is your responsibility to: • Ensure that you use your funds for eligible expenses. • Retain documentation (receipts, prescriptions, etc) about your purchases. These will be necessary in the event that you are audited by the IRS.
More flexibility and control
Medical HDHP Plan Option D Enrollees are the only employees eligible for an HSA
Why an HSA?
A health savings account (HSA) is a tax-advantaged savings account that you can use for medical expenses. It is paired with a qualifying health insurance plan; typically, a high deductible health plan (HDHP).

FLEXIBLE SPENDING ACCOUNTS
Flexible Spending Account
Healthcare and Limited Purpose FSA
Min/Max per Employee
$100
$3,050
Overview: Paying for health care can be stressful. That's why your employer offers an employer-sponsored flexible spending account (FSA).
FSA savings example: Bob and Jane’s combined gross income is $30,000. They have two children and file their income taxes jointly. Since Bob and Jane expect to spend $2,000 in adult orthodontia and $3,300 for day care next plan year, they decide to direct a total of $5,300 into their FSAs.
WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF AN FSA?
It saves you money. The plans allow you to put aside money tax-free that can be used for qualified medical expenses. It is a tax-saver. Since your taxable income is decreased by your contributions, you will pay less in taxes. It is flexible. You can use your FSA funds at any time, even if it is the beginning of the year. You cannot stockpile money in your FSA. If you do not use it, you lose it. You should only contribute the amount of money you expect to pay out-of-pocket that plan year.

We not only proactively monitor the Dark Web, credit reports, and real-time fraud issues, but we will help you fix any compromises to your personal information. All without the hassle of making phone calls, completing paperwork, and all the heavy lifting needed to make sure your identity is restored.
