Health Savings Account

What you need to know

A health savings account (HSA) is a tax-advantaged savings account that lets you use pretax dollars to pay for eligible health care expenses and future health care needs.

HSA Overview

HealthEquity will continue to be our HSA administrator. Only those enrolled in the BCBS Blue Care Elect Saver HDHP are eligible to enroll in an HSA. Discover what medical expenses your HSA may cover—from prescriptions to fitness programs.

Advantages of an HSA

  1. You save on taxes three ways:
    • Your HSA contributions are made on a pretax basis, before federal and state* taxes are calculated. Maximum contribution amounts are subject to annual IRS limits.
    • Your HSA account can grow tax-free.
    • HSA dollars used to pay for qualified health care expenses are not subject to taxes. (If you use the money in your HSA for non-eligible expenses, a tax penalty of 20% may apply.)
  2. Your HSA belongs to you — always. Your account balance is yours to keep and use even if you change health plans or leave Goodwin.
  3. You can catch up on savings as you near retirement age. If you are age 55 or older, you are eligible to make an additional catch-up contribution, up to annual IRS limits.
  4. Once your HSA balance reaches $1,000, you can invest your money in a variety of investment options to help your savings grow. For more information on the investment options, visit HealthEquity.
* In some states, including California and New Jersey, HSA contributions are subject to state tax.
