An HSA-eligible plan is a High Deductible Health Plan that allows you to participate in an HSA. You can enroll in one after enrolling in Medicare, but you can't contribute to an HSA at that point.
You can still use the funds in your HSA to pay for medical expenses after you enroll in Medicare (Part A or B), but you can no longer contribute an HSA.
In fact most financial planners advise their client to stop contributing to their HSA six months before enrolling in Medicare to avoid timing problems and penalties.
If your HSA distribution is used to pay for qualified medical expenses, it is not taxable and you can't deduct the expenses on Schedule A.
