What is a Health Savings Account?

A Health Savings Account (HSA) is an individually owned, tax-advantaged account that you can use to pay for current or future IRS-qualified medical expenses. With an HSA you’ll have the potential to build more savings for healthcare expenses or additional retirement savings through self-directed investment options.

Note:ÌýIf you are enrolling in the Cigna HDHP plan and will have an HSA with Rocky Mountain Reserve (RMR) for the first time, you will receive a "Welcome" email from RMR.Ìý If you want to contribute to your HSA, please complete theÌýHSA Payroll Deduction formÌýand return it toÌýbenefits@du.edu.

Are You Eligible for an HSA?

You are eligible to open and contribute to an HSA if you meet all seven of the following criteria:

1. You are covered by an HSA-qualified health plan (HDHP)
2. You are not covered by other health insurance (with some exceptions)
3. You are not enrolled in Medicare
4. You are not enrolled in TriCare
5. You are not eligible to be claimed as a dependent on another person’s tax return
6. You have not received health benefits from the Veterans Administration (except for a "service related disability") or an Indian Health Services facility within the last three months
7. You are not covered by your own or your spouse’s Healthcare FSA

How Does an HSA Account Work?

You can contribute to your HSA via payroll deductions, an online banking transfer, or sending a personal check to RMR. Your employer or a third party such as a spouse or parent may contribute to your account as well.

You can pay for qualified medical expenses with your debit card directly to your medical provider or pay out-of-pocket. You can either choose to reimburse yourself or keep the funds in your HSA to grow your savings.

Unused funds will roll over year to year. After age 65, funds may be withdrawn for any purpose without a penalty but will be subject to ordinary income taxes.
