2. Winning with an HSA Speaker Notes:
HealthEquity is the oldest and largest dedicated health savings account custodian, and because of that we are passionate about HSAs and their ability to empower our members to build health savings for their future/ retirement
With the healthcare industry being as complex and ever-changing as it is, none of us really know what insurance we might have in the future or what medical expenses we may encounter. Because of that, it makes sense to try to plan and save for those future expenses, just like we plan and save for retirement, and an HSA is ultimately the best way to do that… so let’s talk about why….

3. Health care costs in retirement
The average couple retiring this year will incur $220,000* to cover medical expenses during retirement
This is $325,000 gross withdrawal from traditional 401(k) plan to achieve net $220,000 medical expense in retirement**
-or-
Only $220,000 tax free withdrawal from HSA
* Fidelity Benefits Consulting
** Assumes 33% tax rate

4. Why choose an HSA? Easy win in today’s complex health care system:
Save now:
Lower monthly insurance premiums
HSA deposits aren’t taxed or are tax deductible
Typically lowers income tax liability
Save for the future:
The average retired couple will need $220,000 to cover medical expenses not covered by Medicare in retirement*
HSA funds roll over from year to year
Tax-free interest earned
You keep the money even if you change jobs or insurance plans
Comprehensive and easy investment options
Same doctors, same network, same pricing
Speaker notes:
Use statistic to emphasis the importance of using the HSA to save for medical expenses in retirement
Emphasis the benefit of staying in network if possible: Same doctors, same network, same pricing. However you can choose to go out of network and still use tax free funds from the HSA.

5. Two Parts: Health Plan + Savings Account
HSA-qualified plan through insurance
Preventative services covered at 100%
Office Visits, Rx, Deductible, Copays, and Coinsurance ALL count towards Out of Pocket maximum
There are actually two parts to an HSA – a special type of health plan paired with a tax-advantaged savings account.
HSA through HealthEquity
Tax-free savings for medical expenses
Works in conjunction with the HSA powered plan
HSAs are never taxed at a federal income tax level when used appropriately for qualified medical expenses. Also, most states recognize HSA funds as tax-free with very few exceptions. Please consult a tax advisor regarding your state's specific rules.

6. How an HSA works Traditional health plan vs. HSA-qualified health plan
Lower monthly premium
Higher deductible
Larger monthly premium
Lower deductible
Speaker Notes:
Money into the savings account is Tax Free
Money into savings account

7. Qualified medical expenses:
How an HSA works
You and/or your employer $
Speaker Notes
After age 65 the HSA can be used for non-medical expenses with no additional penalties similar to an IRA or 401k. $
Qualified medical expenses:
Exams, prescriptions, procedures, vision, dental and more
For illustrative purposes only. Visit the IRS website for a complete list of qualified medical expenses.

8. Maximize your savings Maximize your HSA contributions in 2016:
Single-coverage: $3,350 (2015: $3,350) Save up to $1005 in Taxes!*
Family-coverage: $6,750 (2015: $6,650) Save up to $2025 in Taxes!*
Catch-up contribution, age 55+: $1,000
Speaker notes:
- At the very least, members should make deposits into their HSA that match their medical expenses incurred so they can benefit from tax savings.
*Estimated savings are based on an assumed combined federal and state income tax bracket of 30%. Actual saving will depend on your taxable income and tax status. HealthEquity does not provide tax advice.

9. How to contribute to your HSA
Make pre-tax contributions through payroll deductions
Change your payroll contributions at any time
Make post-tax contributions directly to HealthEquity online or by sending a check
Fully fund your HSA on day one
Make contributions anytime after your HSA is open
Can make contributions up until April 15th for the previous tax year
It is the member’s responsibility to ensure eligibility requirements as well as if they are eligible for the plan and expenses submitted. One should consult a tax advisor as individual factors and situations vary.

10. Who is eligible for an HSA?
To contribute to an HSA, you need to:
Be covered ONLY by an HSA-qualified health plan
Other health coverage (including Medicare, a traditional health plan) may disqualify you
No full purpose FSA (including through a spouse)
Not claimed as a dependent on someone else’s tax return
It is the member’s responsibility to ensure eligibility requirements as well as if they are eligible for the plan and expenses submitted. One should consult a tax advisor as individual factors and situations vary.

11. HSA winners Speaker Notes:
We constantly hear from people that an HSA powered health plan is not right for them for various reasons:
“I spend too much on healthcare”
“I never go to the doctor”
However, here at HealthEquity we’ve done some research to compare HSA powered plans with traditional insurance, and the different ways people spend money on healthcare. We discovered that no matter how you spend money on health care, there is the potential to save on this type of plan.
We’ve identified 4 main categories of healthcare consumers, and we will discuss how each can save on the following slides.

12. The shopper SHOPPER: High medical utilizer
Hits out-of-pocket maximum with traditional health plan
How a Shopper wins:
Significantly lower monthly premiums
No copays on top of out-of-pocket expenses
Out-of-pocket expenses are paid with tax-free HSA funds
Speaker:
Try to give examples and make it relatable to the audience. Example: “I think of a shopper as maybe a young family with several children. Maybe there are a lot of visits to the ER for broken bones and stitches, or several visits to the instacare during cold and flu season.”
One way that a shopper can potentially save on this plan is that they don’t have copays on top of out of pocket expenses. A lot of people don’t realize how those copays can really add up throughout the year for all of those visits.
* Results may vary. Based on plan design, contributions and your tax rate.

13. The minimalist MINIMALIST: Low medical utilizer
Desires flexibility and minimum monthly premium
How a Minimalist wins:
Significantly lower monthly premiums
Out-of-pocket expenses are paid with tax-free HSA funds
Speaker Notes:
A minimalist has the potential to save a lot of money on this type of plan because they simply don’t go to the doctor very much.
Preventative visits are covered at 100%, so they will have very few additional expenses per year on top of that. Most of what they save can go right into the account and rollover for years to come
A lot of our minimalists tend to use their HSA dollars for things like dental and vision throughout the year.
* Results may vary. Based on plan design, contributions and your tax rate.

14. The saver SAVER: Financially savvy Optimizes account savings
How a Saver wins:
Another avenue for investing tax-free
Significantly lower monthly premiums
Out-of-pocket expenses are paid with tax-free HSA funds
Speaker:
Our savers are really thinking of this as a long-term investment tool
They typically take advantage of our investment options for long term tax free growth, and may not even use the funds in their HSA for medical expenses now so they can build the balance up
The reason they feel comfortable paying out of pocket now and leaving the money in the HSA is because there is no time limit to go back and reimburse themselves for those expenses.
* Results may vary. Based on plan design, contributions and your tax rate.
For illustrative purposes only. Investments available to HSA holders are subject to risk, including the possible loss of the principle invested and are not FDIC insured or guaranteed by HealthEquity. Results may vary. Based on plan design, contributions and your tax rate.

15. The survivor SURVIVOR: One or more chronic conditions
Hits out-of-pocket maximum with traditional health plan
How a Survivor wins:
Prescription out-of-pocket expenses are capped, no copays
Significantly lower monthly premiums
No copays on top of out-of-pocket expenses
Out-of-pocket expenses are paid with tax-free HSA funds
Speaker Notes:
One way that survivors can potentially save with this type of plan is that their prescription out of pocket expenses are capped. They may have several expensive prescriptions which would allow them to reach the out-of-pocket max early in the year, and then they would pay nothing for their medical expenses the rest of the year.
* Results may vary. Based on plan design, contributions and your tax rate.
