What Happens to HSA Funds if You Stop a HDHP Plan?

Health Savings Account (HSA) is a beneficial financial tool that allows individuals to save for medical expenses tax-free. However, many people are unsure about what happens to their HSA funds if they stop a High Deductible Health Plan (HDHP).

If you stop a HDHP plan, here's what happens to your HSA funds:

  • Your HSA funds remain in the account
  • You can continue to use the funds for qualified medical expenses
  • You cannot make new contributions to the HSA without being enrolled in an HDHP
  • You may face penalties for non-qualified withdrawals if you are not enrolled in an HDHP

It's essential to understand the implications of stopping a HDHP plan on your HSA funds to make informed decisions about your healthcare and finances.


When you stop your High Deductible Health Plan (HDHP), it's important to know that your Health Savings Account (HSA) won't simply disappear. The funds will remain safely in your account, allowing you to still use them for qualified medical expenses.
