Health Saving Account (HSA)

Made for Your Qualified High-Deductible Plan

QualifiedHigh-Deductible Health Plans (QHDHPs) and Health Savings Accounts (HSAs) are designed to be used together. Since QHDHPs generally have lower monthly premiums and more out-of-pocket costs, HSAs help you pay for qualified health care expenses like prescriptions, coinsurance, vision, dental, and more until you reach your deductible.

A Versatile Way To Save On Health Care

An HSA is like a bank account. You can use it now to help pay for current qualified medical expenses, or you can save for future expenses — even into retirement.

HSA Advantages

Your HSA can do some things that other spending accounts can’t.

It's Portable Income

Unlike other spending accounts, you own your HSA. The money you put into an HSA is yours, even if you change jobs, health plans, or retire.

It Grows

Money in your HSA rolls over from year to year, earning interest. You can even invest your HSA money.

It Gets Triple Tax Savings

Income Tax: Money is typically taken out of your paycheck before income tax.

Interest: You are not taxed on interest or earnings on your account.

Qualified Expenses: You don’t pay tax when you use your money on qualified medical expenses.

How HSAs Work

You can contribute to your HSA either through payroll deductions or from your own bank account. The amount of money you put into your HSA is up to you, and your employer may also contribute—but the IRS does set a maximum contribution limit every year.

You cannot continue to contribute once you’re eligible for Medicare. That’s why it’s often used as away to pay for medical expenses after retirement.

Making Your HSA Grow

There are lots of ways to make your HSA grow. That’s why it’s such a great way to save for retirement.

Rollovers

At the end of each year, the money you don’t spend gets carried over year after year. That means if you don’t use all of the money you contribute during the year, you will see growth.

Catch-Up Contributions

If you’re 55 or older, you can put in an extra $1,000 per year.

Combine with a Limited Purpose FSA

Use a Limited Purpose Flexible Spending Account (FSA) to pay for your dental and vision expenses throughout the year and keep more money in your HSA.

Invest Your Money

Once your HSA hits a certain balance, you can invest in a market-leading solution that offers broad consumer choice by providing three different types: Managed, Self-directed or Brokerage. You can manage all aspects of you HSA, including your HSA cash balance and investments within a single website.
