In Revenue Procedure 2022-24, the IRS released the calendar year 2023 inflation-adjusted dollar amounts for health savings accounts (HSAs) and high-deductible health plans (HDHPs), along with the maximum annual amount that may be made newly available for excepted benefit health reimbursement arrangements (EB-HRAs) for plan years beginning in 2023. The 2023 limits have increased significantly over the 2022 limits due to the surge in inflation.
Employers should consider these amounts when planning for the 2023 plan year, as the changes will likely affect benefit plan administration and communication materials.
