  • HDHP Out-of-Pocket Maximums. The 2025 limit on out-of-pocket expenses (including items such as deductibles, copayments, and coinsurance, but not premiums) is $8,300 for self-only HDHP coverage (up from $8,050 in 2024), and $16,600 for family HDHP coverage (up from $16,100 in 2024).
  • EBHRA Contribution Limit.The maximum amount that may be made newly available for plan years beginning in 2025 is $2,150 (up from $2,100 in 2024).

EBIA Comment: The catch-up contribution limit (for HSA-eligible individuals aged 55 or older) is set forth in Code § 223(b)(3) and remains at $1,000. EBHRAs are limited-dollar, nonintegrated HRAs that qualify as excepted benefits. They can be offered by employers of any size and must meet specified requirements. For more information, see EBIA’s Consumer-Driven Health Care manual at Sections X (“HSAs: Required HDHP Coverage”), XII (“HSAs: Contributions”), and XXVIII.C (“Excepted Benefit HRAs (EBHRAs)”).
