Health Savings Account (HSA)

HealthEquity administers HSAs, FSAs, and HRAs for Tulane. If you enroll in the High-Deductible Health Plan (HDHP), you’ll also be enrolled in an HSA. Think of it as a personal savings account for health care expenses with powerful tax advantages. Unused funds roll over and may be invested once eligible.

How Your HSA Works

  • Contribute funds (up to IRS limits); contributions are not subject to federal income taxes.
  • Use HSA dollars to pay for qualified medical expenses, including deductible and coinsurance costs.
  • Your account can earn interest tax-free, and once your balance reaches $1,000 you can invest for future growth through HealthEquity’s partnership with TIAA. .
  • Unused funds roll over year to year, and if you leave Tulane or retire, the account is yours to keep.
