What an HSA is in insurance

Health Savings Account (HSA) is a type of savings account that allows individuals to save for medical expenses tax-free when enrolled in a high-deductible health insurance plan.

Here's what HSA means in an insurance plan:

Tax benefits and how HSA works

• HSA contributions are tax-deductible, reducing taxable income
• Withdrawals for qualified medical expenses are tax-free
• Unused funds roll over year after year, unlike a Flexible Spending Account (FSA)
• HSA funds can be invested and grow over time

Having an HSA in an insurance plan provides individuals with a way to save for current and future medical expenses while enjoying tax advantages.

A Health Savings Account (HSA) is more than just a savings account; it's a smart way to prepare for your healthcare costs. When you're enrolled in a high-deductible health plan, you can contribute to an HSA and watch your savings grow tax-free.
