The Health Savings Account (HSA) is a tax-advantaged savings account through Bank of America, offered only to participants in the OAP HSA 1 and OAP HSA 2 plans. You can use your HSA to offset out-of-pocket health care costs incurred this year, or save it for future medical, dental, and vision expenses. Unlike an FSA, you do not have to file a claim for reimbursement. However, you should keep all receipts for tax purposes.

You can also use the HSA calculator tool available when you go to enroll in your benefits on myHR to help assist you in estimating contributions, potential investment growth and tax savings.

Here’s How the HSA Works

 

Build It

Enroll in the OAP HSA 1 or OAP HSA 2 and make pre-tax contributions to your account. The Company will also make contributions to your account.

Use It

Use the HSA funds to pay for covered healthcare expenses for yourself and your dependents.

Grow It

Unused money in your account will roll over to the next year. Your account balance will earn interest tax-free. Once you reach a $1,000 balance in your HSA, you can choose from the account’s options for investing your balance via Bank of America.

Keep It

You own the money in your HSA. You can even take the account with you if you leave the Company or retire.

 

HSA eligibility

To enroll in the HSA, you must be enrolled in the OAP HSA 1 or OAP HSA 2. In addition:

• You can’t have other health coverage that pays for out-of-pocket healthcare expenses before you meet your plan deductible (another high deductible plan is allowed).
• You or your spouse can’t have a general purpose Health Care Flexible Spending Account (FSA) or Health Reimbursement Account (HRA) in the same year you have an HSA. If you wish to contribute to an FSA, you may be eligible for a Limited Purpose FSA.
• If you are enrolled in Medicare, you are not eligible to contribute to the HSA.
• You can’t be enrolled in TRICARE, or have received Veterans Administration (VA) health benefits in the previous three months.
• You can’t be claimed as a dependent by someone else.

HSA contribution limits

You may contribute up to the IRS maximum to your HSA as follows: $3,850 for single coverage; $7,750 for family coverage; and an additional $1,000 catch-up contribution for colleagues who are age 55 or older.

Note: Your maximum contribution includes AXA XL's contribution to your HSA.

Health Care FSA

If you enroll in the OAP plan or in a non-high deductible health plan outside of AXA XL, you can participate in the Health Care FSA. The Health Care FSA can be used to reimburse eligible expenses that are not covered under your medical, dental, or vision coverage.

For 2023, you can set aside up to $3,050 and expenses are reimbursed as you receive the services.

Eligible expenses are set by the IRS and include:

• Deductibles (for medical, dental and vision)
• Copayments,
• Coinsurance and more.

You can receive reimbursement for eligible medical, dental and vision expenses that you incur during the current plan year. You can use your Health Care FSA funds for eligible expenses incurred by you and your tax-qualified dependents. You cannot receive reimbursement for an eligible expense more than once.

Limited Purpose FSA

If you are enrolled in the OAP HSA 1, the OAP HSA 2 or a high deductible health plan outside of AXA XL, you are eligible to contribute to a Limited Purpose FSA. A Limited Purpose FSA (LPFSA) is a flexible spending account that you can use to pay for eligible out-of-pocket dental and vision expenses. Such expenses include:

• Dental and orthodontia care; like fillings, X-rays and braces
• Vision care, including eyeglasses, contact lenses and LASIK surgery

For 2023, you can contribute up to $3,050 to your Limited Purpose FSA. You can only receive reimbursement for eligible dental and vision expenses that you incur during the current plan year. You can use your Limited Purpose FSA funds for eligible expenses incurred by you and your tax qualified dependents. You cannot receive reimbursement for an eligible expense more than once.

Dependent Day Care FSA

The Dependent Day Care FSA can be used to reimburse you for eligible dependent day care expenses. You can only use this account for eligible dependent care expenses, such as day care for your children if you and your spouse both work, if applicable. For healthcare expenses for your dependents, please use your Health Care or Limited Purpose FSA.

For 2023, you may contribute up to the IRS maximum to your Dependent Day Care FSA as follows: $5,000 for married couples filing jointly and $2,500 for couples filing separately.  

Covered dependent day care includes services from the following providers:

• Day care centers for dependent children or adults
• Nursery schools
• After-school centers
• Babysitters
• Summer day camps (not overnight camp)

To be eligible for reimbursement, eligible care services can be provided inside or outside your home, but not by one of your dependents, such as an older child. If your child goes to a day care facility that cares for six or more children at the same time, it must be a licensed day care center. Expenses are only eligible for children up to age 13, or older children and dependents deemed incapable of self-care.

Filing your claims is easy! If you participate in a Health Care FSA or Limited Purpose FSA, you may use your PayFlex debit card where accepted.

If you do not use your debit card at the point of care, in order to receive a reimbursement for your Health Care FSA and Limited Purpose FSA, you will need to submit your claims online or through the mail. If you participate in a Dependent Day Care FSA you can submit for reimbursement by using a claim form.

Follow the instructions below to learn more.
