HSA amounts announced for 2022
June 15, 2021 Lisa Winter

The IRS has announced the 2022 Health Savings Account (HSA) contribution limits and the minimum deductible required for a plan to be considered a Qualified High-Deductible Health Plan (QHDHP). As a reminder, in order for an individual to participate in an HSA, they must be enrolled in a QHDHP plan. The IRS has also released the maximum out-of-pocket (OOP) amounts for those QHDHPs that are non-grandfathered.

To whom do these new amounts apply? 

These amounts will apply to all group health plans and insurers offering a QHDHP and to any participants who elect to participate in an HSA in 2022. The OOP limit applies to non-grandfathered QHDHPs.
