Heath Savings Accounts for 2018

Written By Pamela Bernal

HSAs – Heath Savings Accounts…

A HSA is a type of savings account that allows you to set aside money on a pre-tax basis to pay for qualified medical expenses. A Health Savings Account can be used only if you have a High Deductible Health Plan (HDHP).

High-deductible plans usually have lower monthly premiums than plans with lower deductibles. By using the untaxed funds in an HSA to pay for expenses before you reach your deductible and other out-of-pocket costs like copayments, you reduce your overall health care costs.

HSA funds roll over year to year if you don’t spend them. An HSA may earn interest. You can open an HSA through your bank or other financial institution.

Please call us if you have any questions or for help working with and utilizing an HSA.
