Why HSAs help with medical costs

HSAs are a valuable financial tool that can help individuals and families save money on medical expenses while also providing potential tax benefits. If you were eligible to contribute to an HSA in 2017 but didn't open one, you may have the option to do so now.

Here are some key points to consider:

• HSAs offer a triple tax advantage - contributions are tax-deductible, funds grow tax-free, and withdrawals for qualified medical expenses are tax-free
• Individuals can contribute up to a certain annual limit set by the IRS
• HSAs are portable, meaning you can keep the account even if you change jobs or health insurance plans
• Opening an HSA can help you save for future medical expenses, including deductibles, copays, and more
