2010 Health Savings Account Contribution Limits Set
The U.S. Treasury and IRS have already announced what the maximum contributions will be for Health Savings Accounts or HSA in 2010. Individuals may contribute up to $3,050 in 2010 and families may contribute up to $6,150 per year. Also, individuals aged 55 or older can contribute $1,000 as a catch-up contribution. The money that HSA participants contribute to their HSA is tax-deductible from their annual income taxes.
In addition to the maximum contribution amounts that HSA participants can contribute each year, there are also maximum out-of-pocket spending caps. In 2010, individuals must have a maximum out-of-pocket spending cap of $5,950. Families must have a maximum out-of-pocket spending deductible of $11,900.

Health Care Costs, Not High Enough?
In the media, we continually hear that health care costs are out of control. In part I agree with that initial assessment, but I might be changing my mind based upon some results that were just released. According to a most recent Health Plan Survey, less than 20% of all employers have an Employee Wellness Program in place.
What I found so interesting is that Employer Wellness Programs have been proven over and over again to save on healthcare costs, and spin off a positive rate of return. Based upon this, you have to ask yourself – Are Healthcare costs high enough? They might not be, since they have not caused employers to seek out all ways to save on their healthcare costs.
