Rules for contributing with Medicare
- If you are enrolled in Medicare (Part A, Part B, or both), you are not eligible to contribute to an HSA.
- However, if you have a High Deductible Health Plan (HDHP) that is not linked to Medicare, you can still have an HSA.
- If you are approaching Medicare eligibility age, you may want to max out your HSA contributions before enrolling in Medicare.
