The IRS has announced the inflation-adjusted amounts for contributions, plan deductibles and out-of-pocket expenses for health savings accounts (HSAs) for 2013.

Rev. Proc. 2012-26 sets the 2013 limit on HSA contributions at $3,250 for an individual with self-only coverage and $6,450 for an individual with family coverage. To qualify for an HSA, an individual's coverage in a group health plan must be under a high-deductible health plan (HDHP).

The guidance provides that in 2013, HDHPs must have an annual deductible that is not less than $1,250 for self-only coverage or $2,500 for family coverage, and annual out-of-pocket expenses cannot exceed $6,250 for self-only coverage or $12,500 for family coverage.
