What is a Health Spending Account?

A Health Spending Account (HSA) is like a special bank account between you and your employer that you can use to pay for eligible health-related expenses. Your HSA is a flexible complement to your regular ASEBP benefits because you control what health expenses you use it for.

Please be aware that not all employee groups have an HSA. If you are not sure if you have an HSA, refer to your ASEBP ID card or contact your school jurisdiction office.

How does it work?

Your employer will deposit money in the form of credits into your HSA over the course of the year. The total amount of credits you receive each year is determined by your employee group and employer. You can use these credits to help pay for eligible medical, dental, or vision care expenses that you or your eligible dependents have.

The Alberta School Employee Benefit Plan (ASEBP) only administers your HSA on behalf of your employer. ASEBP receives your HSA expense form, processes it, and ensures that your expenses are reimbursed based on the number of credits you have.
