Maximize your health savings with an HSA

A Health Savings Account (HSA) is a tax-advantaged medical savings account available to taxpayers enrolled in qualified high-deductible health plans. Contributions to an HSA are made with pre-tax dollars, which can reduce an individual’s overall taxable income. The funds in an HSA can be used for a wide range of qualified medical expenses, and any unused money rolls over year to year, allowing for long-term savings.

Why consider HSAs?

  • Tax advantages: HSAs paired with a high-deductible health plan can offer significant tax and retirement savings opportunities to your employees.
  • Ownership and control: Employees manage their HSAs, deciding how and when to spend (or save) their healthcare dollars to improve both health and financial wellbeing.
  • Investment potential: HSAs allow tax-free contributions that can be invested and saved to cover healthcare costs needs later in life. Any interest earned over time is also tax-free.
