How an HSA works with insurance

  • Your HSA allows you to save pre-tax money specifically for medical expenses.
  • You can use the funds in your HSA to pay for qualified medical expenses like deductibles, copayments, and other out-of-pocket costs.
  • Contributions to your HSA are tax-deductible, and any interest or investment earnings grow tax-free.
  • Unused funds in your HSA roll over year after year, so you can continue to save for future medical expenses.
