How Does an HSA Health Plan Work?

Health Savings Account (HSA) is a tax-advantaged account that lets you save money for medical expenses when you have a high-deductible health plan. Here's how an HSA health plan works:

When you sign up for a high-deductible health plan, you're eligible to open an HSA account.

You can contribute to your HSA through pre-tax payroll deductions, reducing your taxable income.

The money in your HSA can be used for qualified medical expenses like doctor visits, prescriptions, and more.

You can use the funds in your HSA to pay for current medical expenses or save for future healthcare needs.

Any unused money rolls over year after year, and the account stays with you even if you change jobs or health plans.

Contributions to your HSA are not subject to federal income tax and also grow tax-free.

A Health Savings Account (HSA) is an excellent way to take control of your healthcare costs by allowing you to save tax-free specifically for medical expenses associated with a high-deductible health plan. As you enroll in a high-deductible health plan, you can simultaneously open your HSA account.
