Can You Use HSA Money After You Change Health Plans?

If you have a Health Savings Account (HSA), you might be wondering if you can still use the funds in it after changing health plans. The good news is that HSAs are portable and belong to you, not your employer or health insurance company. This means you can continue to use the money in your HSA even if you switch health plans.

Here's how it works:

• When you change health plans, your HSA stays with you.
• You can use the funds in your HSA to pay for qualified medical expenses, regardless of your health insurance coverage.
• There is no time limit on when you can use the money in your HSA.
• You can also continue to contribute to your HSA as long as you are enrolled in a high-deductible health plan (HDHP).

It's important to keep track of your receipts for medical expenses paid with your HSA funds, as you may need them for tax purposes. Additionally, if you no longer have an HDHP, you can still use the funds in your HSA for qualified medical expenses, but you cannot make new contributions until you have an HDHP again.

Are you curious about the freedom your Health Savings Account (HSA) provides after changing health plans? The best part is that your HSA is yours to keep no matter where you go. This means switching health plans won’t affect your ability to utilize the funds you've diligently saved up.
