What is a Health Savings Account?

A HSA is a tax-advantaged account. Money that you deposit in an HSA is meant to be used only for qualifying medical expenses, like health insurance and health care costs. However, HSA funds can also be withdrawn for non-medical expenses with penalties–similar to Individual Retirement accounts (IRAs). HSA accounts with Greater Nevada also earn dividends.

Am I eligible to open an HSA?

Only people with qualified high-deductible health plans are eligible to open a HSA. High-deductible health plans are plans with lower premiums and higher deductibles than traditional plans. They’re considered forms of catastrophic coverage.
In order to open a HSA with GNCU, you must also qualify for membership. Membership is open to anyone who either works or lives in Nevada, or those with immediate family members who do.

When can I open an HSA?

If you have your own health plan, you can open an HSA anytime. You can also open one during your open enrollment period if you have healthcare through your employer.

What can I use an HSA to pay for?

HSAs can be used to pay for qualifying medical expenses. These expenses may change from year-to-year, and the best way to determine whether something qualifies is by checking the official IRS website. Generally speaking, certain medical procedures, services, and medications are covered.

What’s different about opening an HSA through a credit union?

Greater Nevada Credit Union HSA accounts are federally insured by the National Credit Union Administration (NCUA).
