Frequently Asked Questions
Can I contribute to my HSA after age 65?
You can only contribute to an HSA if you're not enrolled in Medicare. Once you enroll in Medicare Part A or B, you can no longer contribute - but you can still use existing HSA funds tax-free for qualified expenses.
Can I use my HSA to pay Medicare premiums?
Yes. HSA funds can pay for Medicare Part B, Part D, and Medicare Advantage premiums tax-free. This is one of the best uses of HSA in retirement. Note: Medigap (supplemental) premiums are NOT eligible.
What's the catch-up contribution for people 55+?
If you're 55 or older and not yet enrolled in Medicare, you can contribute an extra $1,000 per year to your HSA on top of the standard limits. This is a powerful way to boost your retirement health fund.
Can I reimburse myself for expenses from years ago?
Yes. As long as you had your HSA open when the expense occurred and you kept documentation, you can reimburse yourself anytime - even 20 years later. HSA Trackr helps you build this paper trail.
