An HSA can help pay eligible medical expenses with tax advantages, but choosing a qualifying insurance plan is only the first step. Your other coverage and personal eligibility determine whether you may contribute. The account and the insurance policy are separate.
What changed in 2026 for Bronze and Catastrophic HSA eligibility
Beginning in 2026, federal law treats qualifying individual-market Bronze and Catastrophic plans as HSA-compatible even when they do not meet the usual high-deductible-plan parameters. That does not make every person enrolled eligible to contribute. Medicare, other disqualifying coverage or being someone else's tax dependent can still prevent contributions.
HSA limits for 2026 and 2027
The IRS sets how much you can put in an HSA each year and what a regular high-deductible health plan (HDHP) must look like. Here are the figures for both years:
| Limit | 2026 | 2027 |
|---|---|---|
| HSA contribution limit, self-only | $4,400 | $4,500 |
| HSA contribution limit, family | $8,750 | $9,000 |
| Catch-up, age 55 or older | +$1,000 | +$1,000 |
| HDHP minimum deductible, self-only | $1,700 | $1,750 |
| HDHP minimum deductible, family | $3,400 | $3,500 |
| HDHP maximum out-of-pocket, self-only | $8,500 | $8,700 |
| HDHP maximum out-of-pocket, family | $17,000 | $17,400 |
In plain terms: a regular HSA plan must have at least the minimum deductible and no more than the maximum out-of-pocket above. The Bronze and Catastrophic rule described above is the exception for Marketplace plans. The catch-up applies if you are 55 or older at the end of the tax year: the IRS says your limit "is increased by $1,000." If you are eligible for only part of the year, your limit may be lower.
Sources: IRS Rev. Proc. 2025-19 (2026 limits), IRS Rev. Proc. 2026-24 (2027 limits) and IRS Publication 969: HSAs and other tax-favored health plans. We update this page when the new figures are published.
How an HSA works with an eligible plan
You pay premiums to the insurer and hold HSA money with a separate custodian. Eligible funds can pay qualified medical expenses under IRS rules. A large deductible still needs a funding plan: the tax treatment does not make a bill disappear. Ordinary health-insurance premiums generally are not qualified HSA expenses, with specific exceptions.
Who an HSA plan is right for
Compare expected care, cash available for an early-year bill, medication costs and any Silver-plan cost-sharing reductions. A person who qualifies for strong Silver reductions may give up valuable benefits by choosing Bronze solely for HSA access. Someone comfortable funding the deductible may value the account's flexibility. There is no single best metal level.
A Florida example: Bronze with an HSA or Silver with cost-sharing reductions
Here is how we walk through the choice with two made-up clients buying 2027 coverage. We are not using real premiums, because prices depend on age, county and your tax credit.
Maria, 42, a house cleaner in Brandon, earns about $36,000 a year. That is under 250% of the poverty level for one person ($39,900 for 2027 coverage), so a Silver plan can come with cost-sharing reductions: a lower deductible, lower copays and a lower out-of-pocket maximum. Maria takes a daily blood pressure medicine and sees her doctor every few months. A Bronze plan would let her put up to $4,500 into an HSA for 2027, but she would pay much more of her care herself before the deductible. For someone like Maria, the Silver plan with reductions usually gives more value than the HSA's tax break.
Carlos, 38, an electrician in Wesley Chapel, earns about $60,000 a year. That is above 250% but under 400% of the poverty level, so he may get a premium tax credit but no cost-sharing reductions. He rarely sees a doctor and takes no regular medicine. A Bronze plan paired with an HSA can make sense for him: he can put up to $4,500 into the HSA for 2027, lower his taxable income and keep the money for a future bill. The trade-off is that he needs cash set aside for the deductible if he gets sick or hurt.
Your own answer depends on your income, your health and how much you can pay early in the year. Ask to see both plans' price after the tax credit, the deductible and the out-of-pocket maximum side by side before you decide.
Opening and funding your HSA
Choose a custodian, review fees and investment rules, and check the IRS limit for the tax year and coverage type. Eligibility by month, employer contributions and catch-up rules affect the amount you may contribute. Medicare enrollment can be retroactive, which matters when stopping contributions. Ask a tax professional to review your dates rather than using the annual maximum automatically.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much can I put in an HSA in 2026 and 2027?
For self-only coverage, $4,400 in 2026 and $4,500 in 2027. For family coverage, $8,750 in 2026 and $9,000 in 2027. If you are 55 or older, you can add $1,000 more each year.
Are Marketplace Bronze plans HSA-eligible?
Yes, starting in 2026, qualifying individual-market Bronze plans get HSA-compatible treatment under federal law. You still have to meet the personal rules to contribute, such as not being on Medicare.
What is an HSA-eligible plan?
It is health coverage that meets the federal HSA rules: either a regular high-deductible plan within the IRS deductible and out-of-pocket limits, or a qualifying Bronze or Catastrophic Marketplace plan from 2026. The HSA itself is a separate account you open with a bank or other custodian.
Can I have an HSA and a premium tax credit?
Yes, potentially. A Marketplace premium tax credit does not by itself stop you from contributing to an HSA. The credit can't be used on a Catastrophic plan, though.
What can I use HSA money for?
Qualified medical expenses under IRS rules, such as deductibles, copays and many prescriptions. Regular health insurance premiums generally don't count, with some exceptions. IRS Publication 969 lists the rules.
Is a high-deductible plan worth it?
It can be if you are healthy and can pay the deductible from savings. If your income qualifies you for Silver cost-sharing reductions, or you use care regularly, a Silver plan often gives you more for your money.
