Lively provides two ways to access investment capabilities through Schwab Health Savings Brokerage Account by Charles Schwab. Account holders can choose to invest anything above $3,000 for no access fee from Lively or invest with no restrictions after a $24 annual access fee from Lively.

No, unlike with a Flexible Spending Account (FSA), HSA funds never expire. The HSA is owned by you, not your employer, so even when your job situation changes, you don’t have to worry about losing the funds in your HSA.

You can use your HSA for a wide range of qualified expenses, such as doctor's visits, prescription drugs, imaging, lab work, medical equipment, contact lenses, dental work, physical therapy… the list goes on. Find out what is eligible for reimbursement.

The IRS sets annual contribution limits for HSAs. In 2022, individuals may contribute up to $3,650, and families may contribute up to $7,300. If you are 55 or older, you may add another $1,000 on top of that. These limits are subject to change year to year. 1

The IRS sets annual contribution limits for HSAs. In 2023, individuals may contribute up to $3,850, and families may contribute up to $7,750. If you are 55 or older, you may add another $1,000 on top of that. These limits are subject to change year to year. 1

An HSA can be an interest-bearing health account used for qualifying medical expenses, with the IRS's maximum contribution limits set annually. The HSA can only be used with a qualifying high-deductible health plan (HDHP), traditionally known for lower premiums and high-deductibles. A qualifying HDHP has a minimum deductible and out-of-pocket maximum that is set annually by the IRS.

You’re eligible if you’re covered by a qualifying High-Deductible Health Plan (HDHP). The HDHP is your only health insurance coverage. Meaning, you don’t have supplemental coverage from a spouse or other family member (dental and vision is fine). You don’t have or use a General Purpose FSA (Flexible Spending Account). But, you are allowed to have a Limited Purpose FSA for dental, vision, or a Dependent Care FSA. Note: You can have an existing HSA and open an FSA. Your HSA funds will remain, but you cannot continue contributing to the health savings account. No one else can claim you as a dependent on their tax return. You’re between the ages of 18 and 65 and not enrolled in or eligible for Medicare (Part A and Part B) or Medicaid. Read more on the health plan and personal requirements for HSA-eligibility .
