Health Savings Account (HSA) with High Deductible Plans
Employees who choose a High Deductible Health Plan qualify to open a Health Savings Account (HSA). An HSA account allows pre-tax dollars to be set aside for health-related expenses. The 2017 tax year individual plan maximum limit is $3,400 and the family plan limit is $6,750. Additional catch-up contributions are allowed for subscribers over the age of 55. The District’s pre-tax HSA payroll deduction is administered through Optum Bank.* Please note: Unused HSA funds are non-refundable. HSA funds continue to earn interest and are carried forward to subsequent years for health-related expenses. The funds can be used in retirement years for qualified medical expenses.
* Individual HSA's may be available through an employee's bank, however, the contribution will not be an automatic district payroll deduction. If interested in a non-Optum Bank HSA, please inquire with your banking institution.
