Who can open an HSA?
The IRS and the U.S. Department of the Treasury have
specific rules on who can open an HSA.
You can open an HSA if you:
▪ Are enrolled in the Lumenos HSA plan, because it includes
an HSA-compatible health plan
▪ Are a U.S. resident and not a resident of American Samoa
▪ Are not enrolled in Medicare
▪ Are not claimed as a dependent on another
individual’s tax return
▪ Are not active military
▪ Others – refer to online health site
Note: You cannot open an HSA if you have coverage under any other health plan that is not an HSA-compatible health plan.

How Your Plan Works
When you visit an in-network doctor: ▪ Show your ID card at the time of service
▪ Typically you pay nothing at the time of service. Your provider will file a claim
▪ You will receive a Claim Recap showing the total cost and the “allowed” cost. Your provider will then bill you for the “allowed” cost of the service(s)
▪ If you have funds in your HSA you can pay your provider using your HSA checkbook or debit card
When you visit a doctor that is not in the network: ▪ Show your ID card at the time of service
▪ You may be asked to pay at the time of services.
▪ Use your HSA checkbook or debit card to pay your provider for services (provided you have the funds available)
▪ If your provider does not file a claim on your behalf, you will need to file a claim with Anthem BCBS to ensure expenses get applied towards your out-of-pocket. You can download a claim form at anthem.com

When you visit a pharmacy: ▪ Show your ID card at the pharmacy
▪ Until you have satisfied your annual deductible you will pay the full discounted cost of your prescription drug
▪ You can pay for your prescription at the pharmacy using your HSA debit card or checkbook as long as there are funds available in your HSA account.
▪ Once you satisfy your deductible and the Traditional Health Coverage begins

Using your HSA for Qualified Medical Expenses (QMEs)
9 9
HSA’s and Non-Qualified Medical Expenses
▪ Any amount you spend will be considered taxable income (you will
have to pay taxes on the amount used), and you will have to pay a
20% penalty on the amount
▪ Non-qualified expenses will not count toward your out-of-pocket
responsibility under the Traditional Health Coverage
▪ Once you are 65, you can withdraw the money without penalty, but
it will be considered taxable income

Covered and Qualified Medical Expenses
Covered Medical Expenses Qualified Medical Expenses
Medical expenses are the costs of
diagnosis, cure, mitigation, treatment, or
prevention of disease. Expenses covered
by the medical plan described in the
Summary Plan Description.
Some examples are:
• Dr. Office/Specialist/Chiropractic Visits
• Hospital Stays, Radiology, Lab Work
• Speech/Occupational/Physical therapies
• Prescription Drugs
Qualified medical expenses are those expenses that would generally qualify for the medical and dental expenses deduction under tax advantaged accounts (FSA’s & HSA’s). These are defined by the IRS under Publication 502. Some of these medical expenses are not covered by your Medical Plan and don’t count towards your deductible, but you may still use HSA funds for payment. Some examples are:
• Copays, coinsurance
• Vision checkups, glasses
• Dental care, etc.
For a complete listing of qualified medical expenses, visit www.irs.gov and search “Publication 502”.
