Can I Contribute to HSA When I Am on Medicare?

If you are wondering whether you can contribute to an HSA when you are on Medicare, the answer is no. Once you enroll in Medicare, you can no longer contribute to an HSA. However, if you had an HSA before enrolling in Medicare, you can still use the funds in your HSA for qualified medical expenses tax-free.

It's important to understand the rules surrounding HSAs and Medicare to make informed decisions about your healthcare finances. Here are some key points to keep in mind:

• When you enroll in Medicare, you are no longer eligible to contribute to an HSA.
• If you had an HSA before enrolling in Medicare, you can still use the funds for qualified medical expenses tax-free.
• You can use your HSA funds to pay for Medicare premiums, deductibles, copays, and coinsurance.
• It's a good idea to plan ahead and consider how your healthcare expenses may change once you are on Medicare.
