Question of the Month | California Employee Benefits Agency

Q.For a high deductible health plan (HDHP) to qualify for health savings account (HSA) eligibility, what is the minimum amount that an embedded individual deductible can be?

A.For 2018, the embedded individual deductible must be at least $2,700. For an HDHP to qualify for HSA eligibility, an individual with family coverage would need to satisfy the required minimum annual deductible for family  HDHP coverage (which is at least $2,700 for 2018) before any amounts are paid from the HDHP.
