Core HSA eligibility criteria overview

If you're wondering whether you qualify for a Health Savings Account (HSA), you're not alone. HSAs are a valuable tool for managing healthcare expenses, but not everyone is eligible to open one. To determine if you qualify for an HSA, there are specific criteria you need to meet:

• You are covered by a High Deductible Health Plan (HDHP) on the first day of the month
• You have no other health coverage that is not an HDHP
• You are not enrolled in Medicare
• You cannot be claimed as a dependent on someone else's tax return

Eligibility details and disqualifiers

If you meet these requirements, you are eligible to open and contribute to an HSA. It's important to understand the benefits of an HSA and how it can help you save money on healthcare expenses.
