How to Contribute to your HSA






               As a BlueFund member, you can contribute to your HSA in several ways. When you’re enrolled

               your account. Either you or your employer must contribute funds to activate the HSA. You
               cannot be reimbursed for any expenses occurring before your account’s activation. Once your
               HSA is activated, the money can be used to pay for eligible health care expenses.
