The minimum HSA Select contribution of $3,000/year can be daunting to some folks. "What if I don't use it all?" they ask us. That's a big expense for my business each year.

The good news? You don't have to make that contribution each year. A Blendable HSA Select is a Health Spending Account (HSA) where the funds available for you as the Plan Member are reset each year and unused funds are credited to the Plan Sponsor Company. This credit is applied against future billing.

It means that you won't have to pay the full $3,000 each year, just the difference between $3,000 and what was remaining in your HSA, plus the Admin Fee and Excess Medical premiums.

Take a look at the table below to understand how we handle contributions, fees, claims, and credits for an HSA Select.
