Medical-Savings-plan-590x260

The savings limits for the ever-popular health savings accounts (HSA) are now set for 2019. The new limits are outlined here with current year amounts noted for comparison.

 What is an HSA?

An HSA is a tax-advantaged savings account used to pay qualified health care costs for you, your spouse and your dependents. When contributions are made through an employer, they are made on a pre-tax basis. There is no tax on the withdrawn funds, the interest earned or investment gains as long as the funds are used to pay for qualified medical, dental or vision expenses. Unused funds may be carried over from one year to the next. To qualify for this tax-advantaged account you must be enrolled in a high-deductible health plan (HDHP).

The limits

2019 HSA Limits

Note: An HDHP plan has minimum deductible requirements that are typically higher than traditional health insurance. To qualify for an HSA, your coverage must have out-of-pocket payment limits in line with the maximums noted above.

Not sure what an HSA is all about? Check with your employer. If they offer this option in their health care benefits, they will have information explaining the program and its benefits.
