I’ve been researching this and I think I know the answer but I’m not 100% positive. I’ve read a bunch of posts on here and r/personalfinance but I want to be sure before I do anything.
Spouse has HDHP with $6500 contributed annually by employer to his HSA. Currently spouse, me, and 3 kids are all currently enrolled in this plan.
I’m starting a new job next week. My employer offers coverage for the employee at $0 premium. I have some chronic health issues that have cropped up in the last couple of years that would make a PPO plan desirable for me. Can I elect coverage through my employer for just me, while also remaining on the HDHP, and have my spouse still be eligible for HSA contributions? If spouse drops me from his plan, the amount his employer contributes to the HSA will decrease.
