What HSA and HDHP requirements are

Wondering if your health insurance is eligible for a Health Savings Account (HSA)? Let's delve into the details to provide you with a comprehensive answer.

An HSA is a tax-advantaged savings account that allows individuals to save for qualified medical expenses. To contribute to an HSA, you must be enrolled in a High Deductible Health Plan (HDHP). However, not all HDHPs are eligible for an HSA.

Are you curious about whether your health insurance qualifies for a Health Savings Account (HSA)? Understanding this can greatly impact your financial health.

IRS criteria to check HDHP eligibility

Here are some key points to consider:

• Check your plan's deductible: For 2020, an HDHP must have a minimum deductible of $1,400 for individuals and $2,800 for families to be eligible for an HSA.
• Look at your plan's out-of-pocket maximum: The maximum out-of-pocket expenses for an HDHP in 2020 are $6,900 for individuals and $13,800 for families.
• Verify if your plan covers any non-qualifying health benefits before meeting the deductible, as this could disqualify it from being HSA-eligible.
