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

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”.
