What is a Health Savings Account (HSA)?

A Health Savings Account (HSA) is a personal savings account that you can use to pay for qualified medical expenses. HSAs are available to individuals enrolled in high-deductible health plans (HDHPs). Contributions to an HSA are tax-deductible, and withdrawals for eligible medical expenses are tax-free.

  • Lower Premiums: Pairing an HSA with an HDHP typically results in lower monthly health insurance premiums.
  • Flexibility: Funds can be used for a wide range of qualified medical expenses, including deductibles, copayments, and prescriptions.
