MSU Human Resources >> Benefits >> Healthcare >> Consumer Driven Health Plan with Health Savings Account

 

¹ MSU only contributes toward the cost of the single person coverage with the employee responsible for a 7% pre-tax premium share. If you enroll in 2-person or family coverage, you also are responsible for the additional premium cost for those dependents.

Health Savings Account Contribution Schedule

In addition to the CDHP, employees are also eligible to contribute to a Health Savings Account (HSA) administered by HealthEquity. MSU will contribute up to a maximum of $750 per year to eligible employees².

² To enroll in and contribute to a HSA, you MUST meet the following IRS regulations:

1. You must be covered by a HSA-qualified high deductible health plan (like the MSU CDHP administered by Community Blue)
2. You cannot be covered by another non-high deductible medical plan (a major medical plan) or a high-deductible plan that is not compliant with IRS rules regarding HSAs.
3. You cannot be covered by a health care flexible spending account (FSA) until the end of the FSA grace period, currently April 30.
4. You cannot be enrolled in Medicare (Part A, B or D).
5. You cannot be claimed as a dependent on another individual's tax return.
6. You cannot be currently enrolled in the Aetna Student Health Plan.

³ The HSA contribution will be made the following month upon enrollment in the HSA. tHe quarterly contribution amounts differ depending on when you enroll during your initial year. For example, if the enrollment occurs April 3, the initial HSA contribution of $250.00 is effective May 1 plus $125.00 for that quarter. The total contribution will not exceed $750.00 per year. IF enrollment occurs in the 4th quarter the total HS contribution would be $375.00.
