If you choose to enroll in the High Deductible Health Plan (HDHP), known as the BCBSTX Choice Saver Plan for non-union employees or BCBSTX High Deductible Health Plan for union employees, it can be coupled with an optional Health Savings Account (HSA). The HSA is administered by Fidelity and is a triple tax advantaged account you can use to pay for qualified health related expenses, including deductibles and coinsurance for medical, prescription drug, dental and vision expenses. You are eligible to enroll in an HSA at Fidelity if you enroll in the HDHP.

For new entrants to the plan throughout the year, the Company contribution may be pro-rated based on your start date and in compliance with IRS rules.

Making Changes to Your HSA Contribution:
