Investment Options - You can save the money in your account and let it accumulate from year to year, allowing your HSA to become part of your investment strategy. Earn more on balances $5,000 and over by investing in an HSA certificate of deposit. Convenience - You have instant access to funds needed to cover qualified medical expenses when you make purchases with your HSA VISAź debit card. Contribution LimitsHSA contribution limits are revised each year to reflect cost-of-living increases. Contributions for a particular tax year can be made as late as April 15 of the following year.

HSA Certificate of Deposit
Your HSA money is tax-free as long as it is used to pay for qualified medical expenses. If you use the money for any other reason, you will be required to pay income tax and a 10% tax penalty on that amount (you will not pay a penalty if you are disabled or age 65 or older). Qualified medical expenses are services that are typically covered by a health care plan, such as office visits, hospitalization, prescription drugs, and vision expenses. For a complete list of IRS-allowable health care expenses, refer to IRS Publication 502 "Medical and Dental Expenses" available at www.irs.gov. under "Forms and Publications." * Fee for lost or replacement card may apply.
