WHAT IS A HEALTH SAVINGS ACCOUNT?

WATCH THIS VIDEO:

HSAs work in combination with HSA-compatible health plans. The health plan is used to cover serious illness or injury, while the HSA is used for current or future expenses that are not paid by the health plan.

Why Open an HSA?

 Flexible Options

 

  • Even if your HSA-compatible coverage ends, you can still use your HSA funds tax-free for eligible medical expenses.
  • Contributions can come from employers, accountholders or third parties.
  • There is no “use it or lose it” philosophy. If you don’t use it, save it for next year. Or better yet, for retirement.
  • You can fund your HSA with an existing HSA, MSA, HRA or IRA.
  • You’re in control. You choose when to use your HSA or pay out-of-pocket.
  • After age 65, HSA funds can be used for non-qualified expenses and only income tax is assessed.


    Tax Advantages

     

  • HSA contributions are tax-free or tax-deductible.
  • Withdrawals are tax-free when used to pay for qualified medical expenses.
  • Earnings grow tax-deferred.


    Long-term Investment Opportunities

     

  • HSA funds can be invested for greater earning potential.
  • Choose from a wide variety of stocks, bonds and mutual funds.
