Can Any Individual Open a HSA?

Health Savings Accounts (HSAs) are a great way to save for medical expenses tax-free. Many people wonder if anyone can open an HSA. The answer is no, not everyone is eligible to open one. There are specific criteria that individuals must meet to qualify for an HSA.

To open an HSA, you must:

• Be covered by a high-deductible health plan (HDHP)
• Not be claimed as a dependent on someone else's tax return
• Not have other health coverage that is not an HDHP
• Not be enrolled in Medicare

If you meet these criteria, you can open an HSA and start saving for your healthcare costs. HSAs offer a range of benefits, including tax advantages and the ability to save for future medical expenses.
