Reply to comment by zk2997 in I don't see the point of my employer's HDHP /w HSA compared to the PPO plan by zk2997

It's in every HDHP.

I had to fight for it a couple of different years, but it's a required thing for an HDHP.

I have an HDHP and I definitely don't get a $1,200 contribution from my employer.

No it isn’t. My wife’s HDHP contributes $750/year and mine contributes zero.

Definitely not. Completely depends on the employer

Definitely not. You are eligible for an HSA (emphasis on ACCOUNT) when you have a HDHP, but your employer is under no obligation to contribute to that account on your behalf (although many do).

My experience is two different employers that put $500 annually in your individual account ($1000 family). The replies in this thread show a range of employer contributions, starting at nothing.

Has this been the same employer or different ones? Your employer can choose to contribute $1200, but it is not legally mandated, and an employer can choose to have no contribution.
