Health Expense Funds

These options are all about putting you in control. Some can help you pay for certain eligible medical and health costs. Others cover things like dependent care. Your employer may offer one or all of the following:

Health Savings Account (HSA)*

• Put money from your paycheck into your HSA before taxes.
• Use the money to pay for your deductible, the amount you pay for covered services before your health plan begins to pay.
• Put money away for future expenses and earn interest.
• Roll over the money in your account from year to year and let it grow.
• Keep the account even if you change jobs or health plans.
• Use our HSA Savings Calculation Tool to estimate how much you can save.

* HSAs are currently not available to HMO members in CA and IL

Health Reimbursement Arrangement (HRA)**

• Only your employer can put money into your HRA fund.
• Use the fund to pay for covered services that are eligible under your health plan.
• Leftover dollars may be carried over from year to year
• But if you change employers or health plans, you can't take the fund with you.
  

** HRAs are currently not available to HMO members in IL and Small Group members in FL.

Flexible Spending Accounts (FSA)

• Put in money from your paycheck before taxes.
• Use the money to pay for covered health care and dependent care expenses.
• Pay for eligible parking and transit expenses for getting to work.
• Leftover money is lost if you don't use it by the end of the plan year.
