Health Savings Account (HSA)

The Cigna and Kaiser HDHP with HSA Plans qualify as a high deductible health plan, giving you access to a tax advantaged Health Savings Account (HSA). 
Health Savings Accounts are terrific tax-efficient savings accounts that allow you to put aside pre-tax dollars out of each paycheck to pay for future medical, dental and vision expenses. HSA funds never expire – they are yours forever, even if you leave Pulmonx. These funds roll over each year, allowing you to build a savings account for health care expenses or for retirement.

  • Once your HSA balance reaches $1,000, you may invest these funds and let them grow tax-free.

  • After age 65, you can spend HSA money on unqualified expenses without paying a tax penalty, but you are subject to applicable income taxes.

​

2024 HSA Contribution Maximums (employer and employee contributions combined)

  • $4,150 for employee only coverage on the Cigna or Kaiser HDHP medical plan

  • $8,300 for employee plus family coverage (enrolled with one or more family members on the Cigna or Kaiser HDHP medical plan)

 

In addition to the money that you may elect to set aside from each paycheck, Pulmonx will fund your HSA for 2024.  The total HSA contribution will be received in January. 

  • If you cover only yourself, Pulmonx will contribute $850 per year*

  • If you cover yourself and one or more dependents, we will contribute $1,700 per year*

* For new employees hired July 1st through the end of the calendar year, Pulmonx will contribute 50% of the annual amount or $425 when you enroll yourself (employee only coverage) or $850 when you enroll as a family (you plus at least one or more dependents).

Health Care Flexible Spending Accounts (FSAs)

Health Care Flexible Spending Accounts (Health Care FSAs) allow you to set aside a portion of each paycheck on a pre-tax basis in order to pay for planned upcoming healthcare expenses. You may contribute up to the 2024 IRS limits of $3,200 for Health Care FSA. Reimbursements for claims incurred during the 2024 plan year must be submitted by March 31, 2025. The Health Care FSA includes a carryover provision which allows up to $640 of unused funds to carry over into the 2025 plan year. There are two types of Health Care FSAs:

​

  • General-Purpose Health FSA – For employees who are enrolled in the Cigna OA and PPO or Kaiser Traditional HMO medical plans.

  • Limited-Purpose Health FSA – For employees who are already enrolled in a Health Savings Account (HSA) but want to set aside additional pre-tax dollars to pay for planned upcoming healthcare expenses. Important note – Limited-Purpose FSA dollars may only be used to pay for eligible dental and vision expenses, until you have met your medical plan deductible. Once you’ve met your medical plan deductible, you have the option of converting your Limited Purpose FSA so that it will begin also covering medical expenses.
