Clark Howard's Clear Eyed Advice About What to Do With an HSA After a Job Change
"Move all that money that you have from the legacy employer HSA, move it all to Fidelity. You want to do this without delay."
"An HSA left to drift inside a high-fee employer custodian can quietly leak hundreds of dollars a year to administrative charges."
"Even though you're not going to get the triple tax benefit, you're still going to get a wonderful double tax benefit in the HSA."
Health Savings Accounts (HSAs) can incur high fees and limited investment options when left with former employers. Transferring the HSA to a low-cost custodian like Fidelity is recommended to avoid administrative charges that can accumulate over time.

Although contributions outside an employer plan lose payroll tax benefits, HSAs still provide significant tax advantages, including tax-free growth and withdrawals for qualified medical expenses.
