Open enrollment is offered one time annually and permits most employees to review their healthcare coverage, plans and health savings accounts (HSAs) to maximize their physical, mental and financial well-being.
Open enrollment starts in November, and it's important to reflect on the big picture to determine what type of plan you may need as the window to make additions is limited, which includes health savings accounts . "A plan that worked well for you one year may not make sense for you next year," says Charlene Rhinehart, spokesperson at GoodRx in Chicago.
It’s important to look at your healthcare benefits to get the most out of your HSA. "For example, you should check and see if your employer will contribute to your HSA through a wellness incentive," Rhinehart tells FOX Business. Keep in mind, there’s also a limit to how much you can contribute to your HSA each year. According to Rhinehart, for 2024, HSA contribution limits are $4,150 for individuals and $8,300 for families.
