Why We love HSAs
Your HSA, Your $
Your HSA funds are your money, always - even if you leave A-B!
Lower Taxes
We're all for you putting more money in your pocket - and funds you contribute to HSAs are typically income tax-free*!
Tax-free investment gains
Taxes can take a chunk out of your investment gains - but not with invested HSA funds!* Spending is also tax-free when used for Qualified Medical Expenses.
*That is, unless you live in NJ or CA, in which case you should consult with your financial advisor. If you withdraw your HSA funds for expenses that are not Qualified Medical Expenses, penalties may apply. We said "typically" tax-free.

Need to Change your HSA Contribution?
You have the power to change your HSA contribution anytime throughout the year within the Benefits Portal.
Access the Benefits Portal through SSO or log in, click Life Events - I need to change my current benefits and then select Change in Health Savings Account.
Confirm the date and confirm your personal information. Once you reach the Select Your Benefits page, scroll down to the Health Savings Account benefit and hit Change.
Enter the amount you want to contribute, click Calculate Cost, then click I'm Done With My Selection. Click Save My Election and proceed through the life event flow until your updated elections are submitted.
If you need help, reach out to the HR Service Center at 800-952-7522.
Which A-B Medical plans can you pair an HSA with?
HSAs can be paired with the Basic and Standard Medical Plans if you meet the eligibility requirements.
What's the difference between an HSA and a FSA?
Not sure what the difference between an HSA and a FSA is? The biggest difference is that you can save HSA funds and should plan to spend FSA contributions. You can learn more about FSAs here.
How Do Limited FSAs and HSAs Work Together?
The only health-related Flexible Spending Account (FSA) that you can combine with a Health Savings Account is a Limited Flexible Spending Account, which can be used for dental or vision expenses.
You may consider enrolling in an HSA and a LFSA if:
- You think you will need the full amount you contribute to your LFSA on January 1st of next year for dental and vision expenses
- You want to keep your HSA funds stashed away for the future while still using pre-tax dollars to pay for dental or vision expenses
If you enroll in both accounts, plan to use your Limited FSA funds first.
