Might be a stupid question but: when I switched jobs, I got a new 401k provider. This new provider does not offer an HSA like my previous employer. Can I still contribute to the old HSA?

401k and HSA are totally separate. You can not contribute to the old HSA and you can only contribute to an HSA if you are enrolled in a high deductible health insurance plan. Not sure if new employer offers a high deductible plan or not, most do but not all.

Echoing that 401k and HSA are separate and that you need to have access (and be signed up for) a High Deductible Plan to contribute to an HSA.

On another note check to see if your existing HSA plan starts charging a fee after your separation from your old employer. If so, might be time to look into transferring funds to another HSA account.

If you don't have a High Deductible plan, consider FSA for medical expenses. There is a limit you can deduct from your paycheck and you must use all the funds usually by Q1 of the next next year or lose the remaining balance. But on the plus side funds are available for use Jan 1.
