- What if I need more funds than I have available in my KeyBank HSA to cover a medical expense?
-
If you need more than the balance in your KeyBank HSA to cover an expense, and you have funds invested in your KIS HSA investment account, you will want to consider the following:
- What is the current market value of the individual investments in my KIS HSA investment account?
- Which investment should I sell? Will I experience any principal loss if I liquidate at this time? If so, am I comfortable with accepting that loss?
- If I sell the investment today, when will the funds be in my HSA?
Your KIS Financial Advisor will assist you with this transaction.
- What if I need money before the proceeds from the sale of investments in my KIS HSA investment account have been moved to my KeyBank HSA?
-
You can pay for the medical expense by using any non-HSA funds available to you (i.e., personal checking account, credit card, line of credit, etc.) and reimburse yourself later, when the funds are available in your HSA.
