HSA Eligibility FAQs

Who can have an HSA?

To qualify for an HSA, an individual must be covered by a High Deductible Health Plan (HDHP) that meets federal regulations, and not be covered by any other type of plan, including Medicare.


Is it possible to be enrolled in Medicare and be eligible for an HSA?

No. You are not eligible for an HSA after you have enrolled in Medicare. If you had an HSA before you enrolled in Medicare, you can keep it. However, you cannot continue to make contributions to an HSA after you enroll in Medicare.
