Are there any rules to opening a Health Savings Account?

No permission or authorization from the IRS is necessary to establish an HSA. When you set up an HSA, you will need to work with a trustee. A qualified HSA trustee can be a bank, an insurance company, or anyone already approved by the IRS to be a trustee of individual retirement arrangements (IRAs) or Archer MSAs. The HSA can be established through a trustee that is different from your health plan provider. Due to the Patriot Act, you must use a physical street mailing address rather than a P.O. Box when you open your HSA.

Coaches' Takeaway

HSAs are governed by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS). The IRS determines who is and is not eligible, as well as the rules and regulations regarding the funding and spending of the money in the HSA.
