In general, you can use your HSA funds to pay for any qualified medical expense, which is guided by the IRS and includes medical care, prescription drugs, dental, vision, long term care, etc. Please refer to IRS publication 502
Yes, it is your choice when you decide to reimburse yourself for a medical expense you incur-it could have been made in this tax year, or prior tax years. However, if the funds are withdrawn for any expense other than a qualified medical expense, the IRS will impose a 20% tax penalty. After you reach age 65, you can withdraw the funds without penalty but they will be taxed as ordinary income.
Yes, you may both open an HSA if both of you elected an HSA qualified plan. However, the combined contributions from both HSAs cannot exceed the family contribution limit as defined by the IRS for that year.
Triple Tax Advantage:
- contributions routed through payroll are pre-tax so it lessens your tax burden on the rest of your pay. If you make a contribute outside of payroll, you can deduct the contribution on your year end income tax return.
- All interest earned is tax deferred.
- All withdrawals (or reimbursements to self) for “qualified medical expenses” are free from federal income tax.
Yes. Download the Transfer form from our website: www.libertyhealthbank.com and forward to the address listed on the form. Liberty will communicate with your previous HSA holder and request they send the funds to us.
At the time of service, you will ask your provider to run your expense through your health plan so that you can take advantage of the negotiated prices that your health plan was able to get. Your health plan will also apply that amount to your deductible. You will be billed for the entire visit and you can then decide how you want to pay for that. Preventive visits like a well visit and flu shots are the exception and will be covered at 100% regardless of your deductible.
Yes, you can use your HSA to pay for the unreimbursed medical expenses for you, your spouse, and any dependents.
