Page County Public Schools Health Savings Account (HSA) 2022-2023

A personal tax-free savings account for healthcare expenses and investing.

Use the below information to determine if a Health Savings Account (HSA) is right for you and how to best take advantage of an HSA account.

How It Works

You can enroll in a Health Savings Account (HSA) to experience tax savings on qualified healthcare expenses such as copays, deductibles, prescriptions, over-the-counter drugs and medications, and prescriptions. There is no use-or-lose rule, meaning you can save and invest when you can or spend on eligible healthcare expenses as needed.

To enroll in a HSA, you must already be enrolled in an HSA-qualifying high deductible health plan (HDHP).

As a married couple, one spouse cannot be enrolled in an FSA at the same time the other is contributing to an HSA.

The Value & Perks

– Triple Tax Savings: Every dollar you contribute to an HSA lowers your taxable income, funds grow tax-free, and withdrawals for qualified expenses are tax-free.

– Employee-Owned: It’s a personal savings account owned by you. Which means you can keep it even if you switch health plans, change jobs, or retire. You’ll receive an Ameriflex Debit Mastercard linked to your HSA that can be used for eligible purchases everywhere Mastercard is accepted.

– Investing & Saving: You can save and invest your funds with over 30 investment options. HSA funds roll over year to year, allowing long-term growth if there are no immediate spending needs.

– $1,000 Investment Threshold: While many HSA administrators require a $2,000+ account balance before funds can be invested, Ameriflex has a modest $1,000 investment balance requirement, allowing participants to invest their money faster.

– Catch-Up Contributions: Individuals ages 55 and older who are not enrolled in Medicare can make an additional $1,000 catch-up contribution to their HSA.

– No Hidden Fees: We don’t believe participants should have to pay extra fees to reach their full savings potential. By eliminating hidden fees, participants keep more of their hard-earned money for current and future health needs.

– Easy Spending and Account Management: You will receive an Ameriflex Debit Mastercard linked to your HSA. You can use your card for eligible purchases everywhere Mastercard is accepted. Account information can be securely accessed 24/7 online and through the mobile app.

Eligible HSA Expenses

The IRS determines what expenses are eligible under an HSA. Below are some examples of common eligible expenses:

– Deductibles

– Copays

– Prescriptions

– Dental work and orthodontia

– LASIK

– Glasses and contact lenses

– Band-aids

– Sunscreen

For a full list of eligible expenses, go to myameriflex.com/eligibleexpenses.
