10 How an HSA works Traditional health plan vs. HSA-qualified health plan (Aetna PPO) (Aetna High Deductible) - Lower monthly premium - Higher deductible - Larger monthly premium - Lower deductible - Money into savings account 10

11 How an HSA works You and VMware $ $ Qualified medical expenses: Exams, prescriptions, procedures, vision, dental and more For a complete list of qualified expenses see Publication

15 Who can use my HSA dollars? Spouse For Federal tax purposes, HSAs can be used to pay medical expenses of same-sex spouses For Federal tax purposes, domestic partners are not considered spouses Domestic Partners can set-up their own unsponsored HSA with HealthEquity Tax Dependents If a child is still a tax-dependent (up to age 19 or, if full-time student, age 24), then the child s out-of-pocket medical expenses can be paid with your HSA When your child is no longer a tax-dependent but on your medical insurance plan (through age 26), then your child s out-of-pocket medical expenses cannot be paid with your HSA Dependent can set-up their own unsponsored HSA with HealthEquity 15
