What happens to your HSA

Switching health insurance plans can be a common occurrence, especially if you have a Health Savings Account (HSA). But what happens to your HSA when you switch plans?

When you switch to a new health insurance plan, your HSA remains yours, and you can continue to use it for qualified medical expenses. However, there are a few things to keep in mind:

HSA rules when switching plans

• Any funds in your HSA are still yours to use
• You can keep contributing to your HSA
• Ensure your new health plan is HSA-eligible
• Review the fees associated with your HSA

If you switch to a non-HSA-eligible plan, you can no longer contribute to your HSA, but you can still use the existing funds for medical expenses penalty-free. It's essential to understand the implications of switching plans and how it affects your HSA.

Changing your health insurance plan? Your HSA remains intact, and you're free to utilize its funds for qualifying medical expenses.

Key points and non-eligible plan

Remember these key points:

• Your HSA balance is yours to spend as you wish.
• You can continue contributing if your new plan meets the HSA eligibility criteria.
• Verify that your new health plan qualifies for HSA contributions.
• Be aware of any fees your HSA might attract.

If your new plan is not HSA-eligible, you can still withdraw funds for eligible expenses without facing penalties.
