10 Q. What happens to the money in my HSA if I leave my job, retire or enroll in a non HSA qualified Health Plan? A. You take the money with you whenever you go. The HSA is in your name. It is your account. If you enroll in Medicare or go to another employer that doesn’t have a qualified HDHP, you can still use your HSA money to pay for co-pays and qualified medical expenses, but you won’t be able to make contributions to your HSA.

A. You are responsible to pay the amount your insurance has contracted you to pay, typically a discounted rate, until your deductible is met. You can use your HSA for this expense. It is best to have the doctor’s office put the charge through so you receive credit to the deductible and know exactly what to pay.
