Leveraging HSAs

You and your employees have access to BASIC’s HSA Certified Compliance Experts for questions on eligibility or plan design.
HSAs are increasingly being used as an additional resource to invest and save for retirement. With BASIC, HSA funds earn interest on both their cash account and investment account. Our CDA System makes investing easy by automatically sweeping money into investment accounts once their cash balance reaches a set maximum.
BASIC CDA allows for seamless coordination between HSA and Limited Purpose FSA.

HSA Regulations

Like all tax-advantaged accounts, HSAs have restrictions.

Eligibility

HSAs are a tax savings account that is only available if it is paired with a qualified high-deductible health plan (HDHP). IRS Publication 502 contains a list of all approved qualified medical expenses.
An HSA can be used to cover:

Your insurance deductible
Qualified healthcare expenses
Co-payments and coinsurance

To be eligible for an HSA, you must meet all of the requirements:

You are covered under a qualified HDHP and have coverage on the first day of the month in which the HSA account is opened. See BASIC’s Regulations Page for current HDHP guidelines.
You are not covered by another health plan that is not an HDHP.
You are not eligible to be claimed as a dependent on another individual’s tax return.
You are not enrolled in Medicare (part A or B) benefits.
You are not enrolled in a traditional Medical Flexible Spending Account (FSA) or Health Reimbursement Account (HRA).
Your spouse is not covered under General Purpose Medical FSA or HRA which can be used to pay for your expenses.
Must not have used VA medical benefits in the past three months, with the exception of preventative services or treatment for a service-related disability.
