The IRS released the 2020 inflationary adjustments relating to health savings accounts (Rev. Proc. 2019-25, as contained in Internal Revenue Bulletin: 2019-22).  

For 2020, the individual and family contribution limits, out-of-pocket limits, and the annual high deductible health plan (HDHP) deductible limits will increase.

*Note: The out-of-pocket (OOP) limits applicable to high deductible health plans used in conjunction with HSAs differ slightly from the ACA-imposed OOP limits.  In 2020, the OOP limits will increase to $8,150 for self-only, $16,300 for other than self-only coverage.  For 2019, the OOP is $7,900 for self-only; $15,800 for other than self-only coverage.  Also important to remember that under the ACA, for a family plan, no individual can be subject to an OOP greater than the individual OOP limit.

General reminders about HSA limits:

  • The $1,000 catch up contribution available to accountholders aged 55 and over is not tied to a cost of living adjustment and thus, remains at $1,000.
  • With regard to the family deductible, any embedded deductible can be no lower than the minimum family statutory deductible limit.
