Made to keep you healthy

Do you have a high-deductible health plan (HDHP) and are looking for a more convenient, tax-advantaged¹ way to pay your medical expenses? Then a Health Savings Account (HSA) is a great choice for your healthcare-related costs. Unlike flexible savings accounts, any unused HSA funds roll over and accumulate—ready and waiting to be used for medical expenses in future years.

If you wish to calculate your HSA contributions and savings, head over to our HSA Contribution Calculator.

KEY ACCOUNT FEATURES:

  • Contributions are tax free1
  • Deposited funds grow tax free1
  • Qualified Medical Expense withdrawals are tax-free
  • 24-Voice Phone Banking Call (888) 248-6423
  • Contributions can be made up to the maximum amount through April 15 of the subsequent year
  • Funds withdrawn may be used for qualified medical expenses anytime

We want to help you save on out-of-pocket expenses.

An unexpected medical bill doesn't have to become a financial emergency when you set aside tax-free1 funds in a Health Savings Account. In the case of an emergency event, your insurance may not cover the payment unless you meet your deductible. You can use your tax-free¹ money from an HSA to pay the deductible, then insurance may cover the rest depending on your plan. If you’re trying to determine if you qualify for an HSA, visit one of our many convenient Flagstar Bank locations or see below for the most frequently asked questions.

HSA FAQs

What is an HSA and how does it work?

An HSA is a tax-advantaged account1 established to pay qualified medical expenses of an account holder who is covered under a high-deductible health plan (HDHP). The funds contributed to an HSA are not subject to federal income tax at the time of deposit. With money from this account, you can pay qualified healthcare expenses until your deductible is met. Then, your insurance company pays for covered expenses in excess of your deductible. Any unused funds can be used to pay for qualified medical expenses in the future years.

Who qualifies for an HSA?

An eligible individual is anyone who:

  • Is covered under an HDHP.
  • Is not covered by any other health plan that is not an HDHP.
  • Is not entitled to Medicare benefits and may not be claimed as a dependent on another person’s tax return.
What can I use the HSA for?

The HSA can be used:

  • To pay for qualified medical, dental, vision and prescription drug expenses as defined in IRS Publication 502.
  • As a tax-free supplemental income upon retirement at age 65 for non-qualified expenses; money withdrawn for non-qualified expenses before the age of 65 is taxable and is subject to a 10% penalty.
Is tax reporting required for an HSA?

IRS form 8889 must be completed with your tax return each year to report total deposits and withdrawals from your account. You do not have to itemize to complete this form.

What are the tax rules of an HSA?

An HSA is tax free if used for qualified medical expenses. Earnings on money in the HSA are not considered part of your gross income. Any interest accrued in the account is not taxable until used.1

What are the requirements for an HSA at Flagstar?

Flagstar’s HSA requires:

  • A $50 minimum deposit to open an HSA.
  • A $500 minimum daily balance to avoid a $5 monthly fee.
  • A $5 annual HSA plan fee.
If I change employers, what happens to my HSA?

The HSA is portable, allowing you to move the account from job to job.

Who is responsible for determining whether HSA distributions are used exclusively for qualified medical expenses?

As the HSA account holder, you must ensure that distributions are used for qualified medical expenses. Records of medical expenses should be maintained as evidence that distributions have been made for these purposes. You must also ensure that contributions to the HSA do not go beyond the maximum limits.

How will HSA statements be delivered to me?

HSA statements itemizing deposits and withdrawals will be delivered by standard mail or online.
