IRS releases 2023 HSA, HDHP limits

Inflation is driving up prices for just about everything, so it’s no surprise that the IRS’s 2023 limits for Health Savings Account contributions and high-deductible health plans have also taken a jump.

The increases “are a significant jump, much higher than previous increases on an annual basis,” Kevin Robertson, chief revenue officer at HSA Bank told SHRM, adding that it could spark more employers to start matching employees’ HSA contributions, “even if it’s a nominal amount, a couple of hundred dollars.”
