• You must be enrolled in Medicare to use HSA funds for Part B premiums.
• If you are 65 or older, you can use HSA funds towards your Medicare Part B premiums.
• If you are still employed and have HSA funds from previous years, you can use them for Medicare Part B premiums once you enroll in Medicare.
