Budget and save for future healthcare needs.

Health Savings Account (HSA)

The Health Savings Account (HSA) gives employees greater control over healthcare spending, while reducing your clients' FICA and federal unemployment tax liability.

Employees must be covered under a High Deductible Health Plan (HDHP) to contribute to an HSA. According to the IRS, an "HSA-compatible" HDHP has certain features. See the IRS Website for details. HDHPs typically have lower premiums than other plan types, giving your clients more control over health benefits expenses.

Why Offer Humana's HSA?

  • Employers can deduct contributions to employees' HSAs
  • Employers can contribute as much as they wish to employees' HSAs, tax-free, within IRS guidelines.
  • Administration is easy – employees control their own accounts, so all the employer has to do is send employee payroll deductions to the account on behalf of the employee

Another key advantage of an HSA is that it encourages employees to shop for value and price in healthcare, just as they do with other purchases – a change in behavior that ultimately reduces your client's health benefits costs.

Humana's HSA Products

We offer two types of HSAs. Employees' interest-earning opportunities depend on the Humana HSA product their employer selects:

  • Humana HSA ValueSM – An employee's account can grow in an interest-bearing savings account. This product does not have a monthly administrative fee.
  • Humana HSA EnhancedSM – The account can grow in an interest-bearing savings account, a money market account, a wide variety of mutual funds – or all three. This product has a monthly administration fee, which can be paid for by the employer 100%, the employee 100%, or split between the employer and employee.
