What is a Health Savings Account?

A Health Savings Account (HSA) is a savings account that allows you to set aside money for health care tax free. It is intended to cover current and/or future expenses. The HSA allows you to use before-tax dollars to pay for eligible out-of-pocket medical expenses for you, your spouse, and your dependents, which in turn saves you tax dollars and increases your spendable income.

Who is eligible for an HSA?

There are four federal requirements to be eligible for HSAs:

A person must be covered simultaneously by a qualified HDHP.
The HSA enrollee cannot be covered by any other health insurance plan, such as a spouse’s plan
The HSA enrollee must not be enrolled in Medicare
The HSA enrollee cannot be claimed as a dependent on someone else’s federal income tax return

What is allowable for HSA payments or distributions?

Traditional medical costs, such as diagnosis and treatment of disease are allowable, as well as routine medical visits. In addition, many expenses that may not be covered by traditional health insurance can be paid for through HSA accounts. These include prescription drugs and some non-prescription drugs, eye care, dental care, COBRA premiums, acupuncture, Braille books, midwife services, seeing-eye dogs, qualified long-term care services and more. A more complete list can be found in IRS Publication 502 Medical and Dental Expenses for the tax year in question.

How do I use my HSA?

When you enroll in the Save plan, an HSA account will be opened for you. You will have access to a secure, easy-to-use web portal where you can track your account balance, view your investment accounts, and submit requests for reimbursements. You can also access your account with the mobile app.

You will also receive a ConnectYourCare/Optum Financial Visa^®Debit Card to use for qualified medical expenses at doctors’ offices, hospitals, and pharmacies. When you use the card to pay for services, the payment is automatically withdrawn from your account. Just keep receipts for your own records.

Monthly statements and annual tax documents are issued for the HSA deposit account and Mutual Fund Investment Account, and can be accessed through the web portal or mailed to your address on file if elected through the portal. You may access your HSA through the web portal at rsfh.optumfinancial.com or through the Optum Financial mobile app. (Learn more, including download information, at Benefits Apps,)

What happens to my HSA if I leave Roper St. Francis Healthcare?

The money you contribute to your HSA, either through payroll deductions or other deposits, is yours. The HSA account is in your name and you have sole rights to this account, regardless of what company you work for. Even the contribution RSFH makes to your HSA is money you keep. Once the funds are deposited to your account the money belongs solely to you. It cannot be forfeited due to separation of employment.

What happens if I use my HSA funds for non-medical expenses?

If an enrollee uses HSA money for non-medical expenses and is under the age of 65, he or she will incur a 20 percent penalty in addition to owing regular federal income tax on such amounts. After age 65, there is no 20 percent penalty, but regular federal income taxes would apply for non-medical expenditures.
