4 How Does a Health Savings Account Work? High Deductible Health Plan Component (HDHP) Health Savings Account Component (HSA) HDHP + HSA Solution Health Insurance used to cover expenses for illness or injury after meeting a minimum deductible amount Tax-Advantaged account which can be used to cover medical expenses before the insurance deductible is met. Funds may also be saved for future medical expenses Control Healthcare Expenses! Increase Tax Savings! Lower Insurance Premiums! Flexibility & Portability! Savings for Retirement! Lower premiums Protection from big medical bills Covers same eligible expenses Same provider network Helps pay deductible Pre-tax contributions Tax-deferred growth Tax-free withdrawals for medical
5 Key Features of an HSA: HSA Key Features & Eligibility HSA Eligibility: Funds deposited into an HSA are taxadvantaged and owned by the account holder Funds may be rolled over year to year; no use-it or lose-it rule Accounts can accumulate significant assets that can be used for healthcare tax free Funds in the HSA can be invested Funds are portable available through job changes Participants must be enrolled in an HSA-qualified High Deductible Health Plan Individuals cannot be covered by any other insurance that reimburses for health expenses at the same time they are contributing to their HSA. That would include current coverage by a medical Flexible Spending Account. Limited-purpose or Dependent-care FSAs do not conflict with an HSA Cannot be enrolled in Medicare or Medicaid Cannot be eligible to be claimed as a dependent on another person s tax return and must be over 18 years of age
6 Medicare Once enrolled in Medicare, an individual can continue to use their HSA funds, but may not contribute into their account any longer Contributions After Medicare: When someone turns 65 yrs old and goes on Medicare, IRS rules state they can only contribute until the month before they began Medicare. Example: If an individual on a single plan that falls from January 1 st through December 31 st were to go on Medicare in August, they can contribute for 7 months within that calendar year. They would need to calculate the maximum allowable contribution as 7/12 s. (If they wish to contribute a catch-up contribution, that can be added to the total and pro-rated as well).
7 HSA and FSA Comparison Question HSA FSA Do the funds belong to the employee? YES NO Can the money be invested and the employees earn interest? YES NO Can the employees use the funds for things other than medical expenses? YES NO If an employee has committed to direct deposit a portion of each paycheck, can they access the full amount of funds right away (before they are actually deposited into the account) NO YES Can the employee take the money with them if they switch employers? YES NO Do the funds rollover year-to-year? YES Generally, NO Who can contribute to the account? Employers and/or Individuals (anyone) Employee
8 Contributions Contributions are not subject to income tax Contributions can be made by: - Account holders - Employers - Any Third Party Contributions in excess of the allowable limits must be withdrawn or incur a 6% excise tax Individuals 55 or older may contribute catch-up contributions of $ per year until they enroll in Medicare 2010 & 2011 Maximum Contribution Limits Individual $3050 Family $6150 Annual Catch-up* $1000 *For individuals 55 and older before they enroll in Medicare
9 Distributions Money withdrawn from an HSA may be used to pay for eligible medical expenses for the account holder, spouse, or any dependents Reimbursement can be taken from the HSA for expenses from prior years (if the HSA was in place when expenses occurred) Withdrawals for non-medical expenses are possible: Before retirement age = Distribution is taxed as income plus a 10% penalty (20% in 2011) After retirement age = Only taxed as income Save those receipts! Account holders are responsible for ensuring HSA funds are used for qualified expenses and to maintain records
10 Qualified Medical Expenses According to the Internal Revenue Service (IRS), HSA funds can be used to pay for: Most medical care & services, dental services and vision care Alternative care often not covered by traditional insurance Many over-the-counter (OTC) drugs *Starting 1/1/11, Doctor s prescription required for these expenses Health insurance premiums under COBRA continuation coverage or while receiving unemployment compensation Premiums for Medicare Part A/B or qualified long term care insurance Some examples: Rx Drugs Physician s Fees Hospitalization Orthodontia Chiropractic care Acupuncture Reading Glasses Contact Lens Solution Maternity Costs Laser Eye Surgery Oxygen Equipment Band-Aids Dental services

17 Employee withdrawal options Account Withdrawals
18 Paying for Medical Expenses Payment to a Medical Service Provider (Doctor, Hospital, etc): Show your insurance card and explain that you have a high deductible health plan. Most Doctor s offices will request that you wait and pay for their service after the bill is processed through insurance. It is best to pay after the insurance EOB (explanation of benefits) has been processed and you receive the correct bill from your provider. Always be sure to check provider bills carefully against your EOB so you receive the negotiated carrier rate! Payment at the Pharmacy: Pharmacies have a system in place which enables them to immediately access an insurance carrier s negotiated rate for prescriptions, so payment will be necessary at the time of purchase. Use your HSA debit card or a check for those items. Keep in mind that it is wise to comparison-shop, as costs can vary
19 Online Tools: The Bancorp Bank s Website and Online Banking Portal provide each account holder with access to the following: Funding/Deposits/Transfers Real Time Account Balances Check Images Online Calculators Investment Options Free Online Bill Payment Service Training Opportunities Guides & Tutorials HSA Information, References & Resources
20 Self-Directed Investment Platform HSA Once $2500 is saved in an HSA, the member is able to open a brokerage account offered by The Bancorp Bank through an arrangement with National Financial Services, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Fidelity Investments Click on Investment Account Information on our website to find the application and all necessary information Upon receipt of a brokerage application, Bancorp sends the member a new user id and password to allow trading of HSA monies The HSA and brokerage account are electronically linked, allowing funds to transfer smoothly between the accounts as needed
21 Maximizing HSA Savings Most of us are accustomed to a traditional co-pay system where we are unaware of the real cost of healthcare. The following suggestions can be helpful in developing a more consumerdriven mindset to save more money with a Health Savings Account: Contribute whatever is possible (up to IRS limit) to increase tax savings Try local clinics vs. ERs for minor emergencies; Explore alternatives to physician office visits when it makes sense Buy generic vs. brand-name prescriptions if they are available Compare different locations costs for medical procedures/ testing in advance. It is often possible to find a lower-cost alternatives for the same procedures Bargain shop for medicines Wal-Mart, Sam s Club, Costco, etc. (Check out Wal-Mart's website for their $4.00 prescription list!)
