• What you do not spend stays in your account for you to use in the future.

• HSA contributions are owned by you and are portable intheeventthatyouleaveEmory.

The HSA Plan provides a more non-traditional approach to managing your health care than Emory’s POS Plan. The HSA Plan gives you more choice and flexibility while emphasizing and supporting you and your family’s efforts to stay healthy. Like the POS Plan, you have financial protection for medical costs through a deductible, co-insurance and an out-of-pocket maximum. But unlike the POS Plan, this plan provides you with an account, which is funded in part by Emory, that gives you the flexibility to choose how to spend your health care dollars.

In order to qualify for Health Savings Account:

1. You must be enrolled in the HSA Plan.

2. You cannot be claimed as a dependent on someone else’s tax return.

3. You cannot be covered by a spouse’s Flexible Spending Account (FSA).

4. You cannot be covered by any other medical plan, including Medicare A and/or B.

Compare

It is important to note that employee contributions

(bi-weekly premiums) for the HSA Plan are

significantly lower than employee contributions for

the POS Plan. To see how the HSA Plan compares

with the POS Plan, use the Plan Selection & Cost

Estimator Tool located online at www.ourehc.org.

The HSA is All About Choice!

If you have funds available in your HSA, you can

use them to pay your eligible medical expenses.

Or, you can choose to save your HSA dollars and

pay eligible expenses yourself. HSA funds are not

forfeited at the end of the plan year; your HSA

dollars will continue to be available for you to use.
