Add You - Considering Health Savings Accounts
One working definition of a Day Trader is, “A person whose goal is to make his or her profits from a security in the shortest amount of time [preferably during a single day.]” Though this definition is simplified, the day-to-day job of a Day Trader is a far more complex series of events and strategies that must be learned and implemented.My description of daytrading has largely been based on past experiences with the markets, as well as the changes in the markets and the global economies themselves. Keep in mind; the stock market is not your fri

What’s a Health Savings Account (HSA)?
They have two parts. The first part is a qualified high-deductible health insurance policy that covers large medical bills. The second part of the Health Savings Account is an investment account or retirement account from which you can withdraw money tax-free for medical care. If you don’t withdraw the money for medical expenses, the money accumulates with tax-free interest until the age of 65, when you can withdraw it for any purpose and pay normal income taxes.
Who’s eligible for an HSA?
Anyone under age 65 who buys a qualified high-deductible health insurance policy can open an HSA. If you’re covered by another health insurance policy that isn't a qualified high-deductible plan (either as an individual or a dependent), you’re not eligible for an HSA. If, however, you are eligible, you can still carry other accident, disability, dental, vision and long-term care insurance policies.
How much can I contribute annually to an HSA?
For 2007, you can contribute up to $2,850 for individual coverage or $5,650 for families. If you’re 55 and older, you can make a catch-up contribution of $800. Legislation approved at the end of last year allows you to contribute up to these limits, even if your insurance deductible is less.

It is little wonder then that the fear of managing change and its impacts is a leading cause of anxiety in managers.To lend assistance, there are now available many guides to help change agents drive and manage change. These serve a very valuable purpose. Nonetheless, guidebooks can only assist so far. Every organization is

To qualify as an HSA-eligible policy in 2007, your health insurance plan must have a deductible of at least $1,100 for individual coverage or $2,200 for families. You can then make a contribution to your HSA up to the amount of the deductible each year. If you're buying an individual plan, be sure to ask your health insurance company if it is an “HSA qualified” high deductible plan. Not all high deductible plans are eligible, or “qualified”.
Where can I get an HSA-Eligible Plan?
First you need a qualified high deductible plan. Finding a plan depends on whether you get it through your employer or purchase individual insurance.
Employer Insurance —If you get health insurance through your employer, ask about the HSA-eligible option during the group policy’s open-enrollment period, which is generally in the fall. Or talk to your benefits manager to see if HSAs will be on your health insurance menu. Choosing an HSA could significantly reduce your share of premiums, and some employers may opt to fund all or part of the HSA, much like a 401(k)-style match.
Individual Insurance —You can find a list of health insurance companies offering HSA-eligible plans in Texas at HSAInsider.com or HSADecisions.org. The list of companies offering HSA-eligible plans continues to grow every month. You should also make a note over the coming months to explore Precedent’s HSA-qualified individual health plans at www.precedent.com.
