HSA

HSA Custodian

Health Savings Accounts are savings accounts that allow employees to pay for qualified out-of-pocket medical, dental and vision expenses using pre-tax dollars. The funds in the HSA belong to the employee and the employee can spend their funds as they wish. The funds may be used to pay any eligible expense incurred by the employee and their immediate family members. In order to establish an HSA, the employee must enroll in a qualified High Deductible Health Plan (HDHP). In order for expenses to be eligible for reimbursement from an HSA, the account must be open prior to incurring the expense.

Your employer has elected to use Optum Bank as their HSA custodian for employee deposits. You will need to establish an HSA account in order to receive employer and/or employee contributions. You may have additional HSA accounts and you may elect to transfer funds to other HSA accounts with investment options.

Employees may contribute funds through payroll deductions to their Health Savings Accounts. The IRS provides annual maximum contributions limits which are the annual limits for combined employer and employee contributions.  Key HSA Features
