In sintesi

Health Savings Accounts (HSAs) are tax-advantaged savings accounts for medical expenses. Companies offer them to employees; platforms manage contributions, eligibility, payroll integration, and tax reporting. Mastery takes 5-7 weeks. Senior practitioners earn 25-35% premium because HSA platforms reduce compliance risk ($50K+ fines for non-compliance) and improve employee financial health. Market is growing: 35M Americans have HSAs (2026), up 40% from 2023. Only ~200 engineers specialize in HSA tech.

Cos'è Health Savings Account HSA

Health Savings Accounts (HSAs) are tax-advantaged savings accounts for medical expenses. Employees contribute pre-tax salary to HSAs, use funds for eligible medical costs, and keep unused balance for future years. Unlike FSAs (which expire), HSA funds roll over indefinitely. HSA platforms manage eligibility, contributions, claims processing, and tax reporting. They integrate with payroll systems (automatic deductions), health insurance systems (HDHP verification), and banking systems (card transactions, fund transfers).

❓ Domande frequenti

What makes someone HSA-eligible?
Must be enrolled in a high-deductible health plan (HDHP). Cannot have other health coverage. Cannot claim dependent on another person's tax return. Cannot be on Medicare. Cannot use FSA (Flexible Spending Account) simultaneously. Rules are complex and change annually.
What are HSA contribution limits?
2026: individual = $4,300, family = $8,550. Limits change annually (IRS adjusts for inflation). Employees over 55 can contribute extra $1,000 (catch-up). Your platform must enforce these limits and prevent over-contribution.
Can HSA funds roll over to next year?
Yes, HSAs have 'use it or lose it' is a myth. Funds roll over indefinitely. Unlike FSAs (which expire each year), HSA balance can grow for decades. Treat it as long-term investment account.
What expenses are HSA-eligible?
Medical, dental, vision, hearing, prescription drugs, certain over-the-counter meds. NOT: cosmetic surgery, gym memberships, vitamins (unless prescribed). List is in IRS Publication 502. Your platform must validate claims against this list.
How do I prevent HSA abuse?
Employees buying non-eligible items (running shoes, vitamins) with HSA cards. Build validation: claims must have IRS-eligible service code or medical diagnosis. Audit 1% of transactions. Flag unusual patterns.
How do I handle HSA eligibility changes?
Employee loses HDHP coverage mid-year. They become ineligible. Contributions already made are taxable. Your platform must detect coverage changes, calculate pro-rata contribution limit, and flag for tax correction.
