On May 28, 2019 the IRS issued the limits for 2020 on health savings accounts (HSAs) and the associated high deductible health plans (HDHPs) in Revenue Procedure 2019-25.
With the ACA limits, plans must apply the annual individual Out-of-Pocket (OOP) maximum for each individual in a family plan. Employers offering HSAs, however, must make sure they satisfy the lower OOP maximums and not these higher ACA limits.
| Health Savings Accounts | ||
| Minimum HDHP Deductible | $1,400/single | $2,800/family |
| Maximum Contributions | $3,550/single | $7,100/family |
| Out-of-Pocket Maximum | $6,900/single | $13,800/family |
It is important to note that all limitations have increased from 2019.
Reminder: The Affordable Care Act (ACA) out of pocket limits differ from the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) out-of-pocket limits for HSA qualified HDHPs.
