What is a Health Savings Account?

A Health Savings Account (HSA) is an account funded to help you save for healthcare expenses. Your Optum Bank HSA is a smart long-term investment vehicle that can play an important role in your overall wealth and retirement strategy.

Are You Eligible for an HSA?

  • Must be enrolled in the Enhanced CDHP Value Plan or Base CDHP Savings Plan through OneMain; PPO, Surest Copay Plan, and HMO plans do not qualify
  • Must not be enrolled in Medicare
  • Must not be covered by other medical insurance(s)
  • Must not have received VA medical benefits at any time within the past three months

Medicare & HSA

If you are enrolling into Medicare, then you must notify hrconnect@omf.com one month prior to turning 65 and enrolling in a Medicare plan so that the company contribution is removed. You must also cease your personal contribution, if any. It is your responsibility under the IRS guidelines for pre-tax plans to complete these actions, or you may incur a penalty for participating in an HSA during this period.

Advantages of an HSA

Financial Security

Your HSA is an account dedicated to wellness costs, providing a buffer for unexpected medical bills. Much of your physical, mental, and family wellness expenses can be paid for using your HSA.

More Plan Options

In most cases, you can lower your health insurance premiums by switching to health insurance coverage with a higher deductible, such as the Enhanced CDHP Value and Base CDHP Savings plans.

Save for Your Future

You can save the money in your HSA for healthcare expenses and grow your account through investment earnings. Once your HSA reaches $2,000, you can choose to invest HSA funds above that amount. Select from Optum Bank self-directed mutual funds or Betterment digitally managed investments. When you turn 65 or enroll in Medicare, you can use your HSA for non-medical expenses without incurring a tax penalty. Those distributions will be treated like retirement income and will be subject to normal income tax.

Your Account. Your Money.

HSAs are completely portable, meaning you can keep your HSA even if you change jobs or medical coverage, become unemployed, move to another state, or change your marital status.

Triple-Tax Advantage

  • Tax deductions when you contribute to your accounts
  • Tax-free earnings through investment
  • Tax-free withdrawals for qualified medical expenses
