Health Savings Account (HSA)
You can use your Health Savings Account (HSA) to pay for eligible current and future healthcare expenses with tax-free dollars. You must enroll in the HSA plan to be eligible to open a health savings bank account. There is no use it or lose it rule. Any unused money will remain in your HSA for future use.
- You must participate in the Consumer Healthcare Plan (CHP) with Blue Cross Blue Shield of Alabama to enroll in the HSA.
- Nidec contributes monthly to your HSA, but does not own the account. You own the account.
- If you leave, you keep the funds.
- You may choose to contribute to your HSA on a pre-tax basis.
- You can withdraw funds at any time to pay for qualified medical expenses for most medical, dental and vision care.
- HSA expenses can be incurred by you, your spouse and dependents claimed on your personal tax return, even if the dependents are not enrolled in the HSA plan.
