Health Savi ngs Account (HSA)

We have partnered with Health Equity to deliver our Health Savings Account (HSA) which allows

you to make tax-free contributions through payroll deductions into a savings account that is offered

only if you enroll in the Blue Shield HDHP plan (not eligible if you enrolled in the HMO or PPO

plan). Any money that you don't spend grows year after year and can be used in the future, even

after you retire.

* The IRS has set limits on the total amount you can contribute to a HSA each calendar year. If you're over 55, the IRS

allows you to contribute an additional $1,000—this is called a “catch-up contribution.”

* If you are HSA eligible on October 1, 2017 and remain eligible on December 1, 2017, you can contribute both the

2017 and 2018 annual maximums to your HSA account as long as you remain eligible throughout all of 2018.

You can use your HSA debit card to pay for

qualified medical expenses. For a full list of

you spent the money on qualified expenses if

you are audited by the IRS.
