HSA benefits
There are many benefits of an HSA:
More informed healthcare decisions
You have the flexibility to shop around for HSA-eligible items and healthcare services.
Use on almost anything
Your HSA dollars can be used for doctor visits, as well as hundreds of other IRS-qualified expenses.
You own the account for life
Your HSA funds stay with you when you change jobs or retire, and unused funds roll over from year to year.
Three tax advantages
Tax-deductible contributions, tax-free interest and earnings growth* and tax-free spending on eligible items.
Beyond healthcare
After age 65, your HSA funds can be used for any purpose without penalty (only income tax is assessed).

Am I eligible for an HSA?
If you have an HSA-qualified health plan, whether through an employer or one you've purchased on your own from a healthcare marketplace or broker, chances are you can open an HSA. Check that the following are also true:
- You must have a valid email address, Social Security number and a primary residence in the United States.
- You must be covered by the HSA-eligible health plan on the first day of the month in which you plan to start contributing to your HSA.
- You can’t be covered by any other type of health plan, including Medicare Part A or Medicare Part B.
- You can’t be covered by TRICARE.
- You can’t have used your medical benefits from Veterans Administration for any non-service-connected disabilities at any time during the previous three months (to contribute to an HSA).***
- You can’t be claimed as a dependent on another person's tax return.
- You aren’t covered by a general purpose healthcare Flexible Spending Account (FSA) or Health Reimbursement Account (HRA). Alternative plan designs, such as a limited-purpose FSA or HRA, might be permitted.
