Money goes in tax-free* and comes out tax-free when it’s used for eligible expenses.
Contribute to your accounts easily and effortlessly.
Plan for upcoming expenses by setting aside money each paycheck.
*Contributions are not subject to federal income tax. However, HSA contributions are currently subject to state income tax in CA and NJ. Consult with your tax advisor to understand the potential tax implications of enrolling in an HSA and/or FSA.
Here’s an example. Let’s say Tom decides to set aside $2,000 in an HSA or FSA for the year. Normally, on that money, he’d pay $480 in federal income tax, $100 in state income tax, and $153 in payroll tax. So, by contributing that $2,000 to his HSA or FSA, he’ll get $733 in tax savings for the year.
Without an HSA or FSA, Tom would pay … | Savings |
---|---|
24% in federal income tax | $480 |
5% in state income tax* | $100 |
7.65% in payroll tax | $153 |
His total tax savings for the year with an HSA or FSA | $733 |
This hypothetical illustration is for educational purposes only. Dollar amounts or savings will vary depending on income, state and city tax rules, and other factors. Please consult a tax, legal, or financial advisor about your own personal situation.

With the Innovation Health HSA HDP (High Deductible Plan) and Outside NOVA HSA HDP, you’re eligible to open and contribute money to a Health Savings Account (HSA) through Inspira Financial. The HSA is a tax-free savings account that you own. You can use it to pay for eligible health expenses anytime, even in retirement.
Keep in mind, the maximum amount you and Inova can contribute to your HSA is determined by annual limits that the IRS sets. In 2024, the total contribution limits are:
Add $1,000 to these limits if you’re age 55 or older.
In order to establish and contribute to an HSA, you:
You should review IRS rules for making HSA contributions if you will turn age 65 during the year. For more information, see IRS Publication 969.
Use your HSA together with a Limited Purpose FSA for additional tax savings. With the Limited Purpose FSA, only dental and vision expenses are allowed.
To contribute to an HSA, you must be enrolled in the Innovation Health HSA HDP (High Deductible Plan) or Outside NOVA HSA HDP. You will elect your HSA contribution amount during enrollment. You can then manage your account through the Inspira Financial website.
As you start using your account, keep in mind that you can only spend money that has actually been deposited into your account — your entire annual contribution amount is not available to you from the beginning of the plan year. Your HSA balance will grow as deposits are made from each paycheck.
Using an FSA is like getting a discount on everyday health and/or dependent care expenses because you’re paying with tax-free money. There are separate FSAs for healthcare and dependent care. Our FSAs are administered by Inspira Financial.
You can carry over $640 of your Health Care FSA and Limited Purpose FSA from 2024 to 2025. Request reimbursement or manage your account on the Inspira Financial website.
A Health Care FSA is available to team members who enroll in the Innovation Health PPO, Outside NOVA PPO, or do not elect medical coverage. You can contribute up to $3,200 for the year through pre-tax payroll deductions to help cover eligible medical, dental, and vision expenses.
A Limited Purpose FSA is available only to team members with an HSA to offer additional tax-saving opportunities. You can contribute up to $3,200 for the year through pre-tax payroll deductions. This account can be used for eligible dental and vision expenses only.
A Dependent Care FSA is available to all team members. You can contribute up to $5,000 for the year through pre-tax payroll deductions to help cover your eligible dependent care expenses, including child care for children up to age 13 and care for dependent elders.
