  • Employee/spouse and employee/family coverage: Employees and spouses may each earn $20 for each HealthQuest credit earned by November 18. Contributions for HealthQuest credits are posted to your Health Savings Account or Health Reimbursement Account typically the pay period after they are earned. Contributions are capped at $500 each.
