Health Savings Account (HSA)
|
BNY Mellon's contributions will be deposited to your HSA on or before your first pay of the month following your coverage effective date, and you will become eligible to make pre-tax contributions to your HSA. You may use money in your HSA to cover qualified health care expenses.

You may use any remaining balances in your HSA to cover qualified health care expenses. Or, you may save the money for future qualified health care expenses. You may not contribute to the HSA again, unless and until you are covered by Plan HSA or another high-deductible health plan. Additionally, you will continue to pay $2.90 per month if you elected the HSA investment feature.

Health Reimbursement Account (HRA)

Any HRA balances will be converted to a Limited Purpose HRA for use in paying eligible dental, vision, preventive drug and out-of-network preventive care expenses. Once you meet your Plan HSA deductible, you can seek reimbursement for other qualified health care expenses. You will no longer be able to use your HRA debit card and must submit receipts for reimbursement.
