So I see everyone just gushing over HSAs on here, but I for one have never seen one offered on any plan in my area via the ACA marketplace system. Just curious if I'm being stupid.
I have looked at all the plans with an annual deductible that is not less than $1,300 for self-only coverage or $2,600 for family coverage, and the annual out-of-pocket expenses (deductibles, co-payments, and other amounts, but not premiums) do not exceed $6,450 for self-only coverage or $12,900 for family coverage. None are eligible per the ACA website.
Is this because you have to go and find a HSA plan on your own elsewhere? Do they (IRS + HSA administrator) just look at the deduction and OOPM limits when seeing if you can fund the HSA and receive the tax benefits? Thanks!
