How does the HSA work? UC funds your HSA account with $500 for

individual and $1,000 for family You can contribute up to $2,800/individual

$5,550 family If you’re 55 or older, you can contribute more Use HSA $ to pay for your

Deductible Coinsurance (e.g., your 20%) Any IRS Publication 502 Expenses

Things to consider….. You can’t participate in the Blue Shield Health

Savings Plan and UC’s Flexible Spending Account (Conexis) at the same time

You can’t be anyone’s tax dependent

Health Savings Account only allowed for High Deductible Health Plans

Your Health Savings Account: You own the account You can contribute to it It has triple tax advantages It comes with a HSA Debit Card

Currently enrolled in Anthem Lumenos and have an HRA balance? You’ll keep it as long as you enroll in the Health Savings Plan.

Why is it better than an HRA?

1. Go to your doctor.

2. Later – check your HealthEquity account online to see required payment to the doctor.

3. Pay with your HSA funds through your HealthEquity online account.

Give doctor’s office your Blue Shield card so BSC can… process the claim and

get you their special provider discounts and

send info about your amount of claim responsibility to Health Equity

Using Your Health Savings Plan

1. Go to your pharmacy.

2a. Pay for your Rx immediately if you want to use your HSA Debit Card,

OR

Using Your Health Savings Plan

Give Pharmacist your Blue Shield Card so they can apply the Blue Shield Rx discounts.

2b. Pay with personal funds (e.g., AMEX to get your points) and later go to your HealthEquity account online and reimburse yourself.
