Your Health Savings Account Benefits
When you enroll in the Health Savings Plan, you and Green Diamond can both contribute to your Health Savings Account (HSA). Green Diamond will contribute the following amount to your HSA: $1,000 per plan year for employee-only coverage and $1,500 per plan year if enrolled with one or more dependents, which both amounts will be pro-rated over 24 pay periods. The IRS limits the amount of HSA contributions, and those limits include both employer and employee contributions. The tables below outline Green Diamond’s per paycheck contributions and the maximum amount you may contribute without exceeding IRS limits:
(Click on the image below to see it larger)
How does the HSA work with your Health Savings Plan?
The Health Savings Plan is compatible with a Health Savings Account (HSA). Use your HSA to fund your deductible, coinsurance, and qualified medical, dental, and vision out-of-pocket costs. It is up to you whether to use the funds in your HSA, or pay out-of-pocket for health care expenses.
If you enroll in the Health Savings Plan, an HSA will be automatically opened for you with Optum Financial/Connect Your Care, the HSA administrator. You will receive a welcome kit from Optum Financial/Connect Your Care within four to six weeks after enrolling. You can make your HSA contribution election when you enroll in benefits.
