health savings accounts
1. What is a Health Savings Account?
A Health Savings Account (HSA) combines the efficiencies of a high-deductible health plan with extensive banking and investment options in a tax-free account. HSAs can be established by an eligible individual or by an employer for an eligible employee. HSAs are funded and owned by the account holder and is portable. Any unused funds remain in the account and grow tax-deferred until withdrawn for qualified medical expenses - the funds remain in the control of the account holder. More and more individuals and employers see HSAs as a smart way to prepare for rising healthcare costs in the future while saving on taxes today. Our integrated HSA Manager program offers a unique approach to Health Savings Accounts.
