HSA FAQs

Can I assume that "qualified medical expenses" are the same for an HSA and a FSA?
See Qualified Medical Expenses

If I start an HSA late in the year, can I still contribute the maximum amount?
See Partial Year Contributions

Can I pay my health insurance premiums with an HSA?
You can only use your HSA to pay health insurance premiums if you are collecting Federal or State unemployment benefits, or you have COBRA continuation coverage through a former employer.

Can I purchase long-term care insurance with money from my HSA?
Yes, if you have tax-qualified long-term care insurance.  However, the amount considered a qualified medical expense depends on your age.  See IRS Publication 502 for the amounts deductible by age.

Both of the above answers (and many more) are available on the US Treasury website.
