Please consult your Employee Benefits Guide and review the benefit summaries for additional details.
The Health Savings Account (HSA) allow you to set aside pre-tax dollars to pay for eligible expenses. By contributing to a HSA you reduce your taxable income, so you pay less in taxes — which saves you money.

HSA IRS Maximums are as follows:
$3,650 for a single contract
$7,300 for a two person or family
$1,000 "Catch Up" contribution for those age 55+
The maximums noted above are combined maximums for employee and employer provided funding. If you elect the BCN POS HSA 2000 plan, the above maximums will need to be off set by the employer provided funding.
