What is a qualifying High-Deductible Health Plan?

Generally, an HDHP is a health plan that satisfies certain requirements with respect to deductibles and out-of-pocket expenses. For purposes of this HSA, a high-deductible health plan is a plan with a minimum annual deductible and out-of-pocket expense limit (which includes money applied to your deductible and your coinsurance for coverage charges) as follows:

Who can make Regular Contributions?

This is true whether you are self-employed or unemployed. The maximum monthly contribution for eligible individuals is 1/12 of the annual contribution limits below:
