Co-Payments and Deductibles

HSA money can be used to cover co-payments, deductibles, and other out-of-pocket costs for eligible medical services.

Dental and Vision Care

Your HSA funds can be used for a variety of dental and vision expenses, including check-ups, cleanings, glasses, and contact lenses.

Mental Health Services
