5 Steps to Investing Your Health Savings Account
Health saving is one of the types of bank savings, but they are different when compared with the
standard savings which will serve as the emergency fund, or vacation fund, the money that will
be saved for health will only be used to take care of health care expenses. There are so many
healthcare plans to choose from you have to select the right one. Some will be excellent because
they will have the low deductible health care plan with a coverage that is amazing but others will
not be that fortunate. The money set aside for the healthcare can be used to cater for annual
physical visits, dental work, office visits and any other cost. Continue reading to understand the
five steps of investing in your health saving account.
Determine Eligibility:
The health saving account will not be a good thing for everyone. To qualify for the account, you
must have the high deductible health insurance plan. As from 2013, for someone to be eligible
for the health saving account, the minimum annual deductible has been $1250, and if you have
families, it's $2500. The state that you live in must have accepted the health saving account, but
if the other health insurance already covers you, the policy has to be the one that has the high
deductible plan.
Review your Finances:
To fully benefit from health saving, the cash saving has to be deposited in the account. The limits
that the IRS will have will be on how much you can contribute annually to the account $6250 for
families and $3100 for individuals.
Open the saving account through your employer:
If in the company that you work in the employer will cover the health insurance expense, the
only option that you can have is the high deductible plan. Since the only thing the cover will take
care of is the major medical expense. But some employers will go out of their way to pay for the
deductible plan with health saving account, that way as the employee you will have the chance of
opening the account when they enroll the health plan.
Get the health saving account on your own:
Every bank will offer the health saving account or the credit union. If the employer has not
provided the saving account, then check with your bank. The bank will provide you with the
debit card that will be attached to the saving account, making the whole process easy to pay the
amount in the saving account. If you don’t have the time to visit the bank you can set up the
account online.
Check Competitor Fee:
If the bank that holds your checking and the one that you have been saving with has high fees,
you don’t have to open the health saving account with them. There will be fees that will be
accompanied with health saving accounts like the annual fees and maintenance fees. If you are
not careful, the fees will cost you a lot. Check several banks comparing the fees before going
ahead and opening the account.
