Health Savings Account (HSA)

Q: What are HSAs?

A: An HSA (health savings account) is a tax-advantaged savings account that belongs to the account holder. If an account holder changes jobs, the account and money stay with them, just like a personal bank account. HSAs are always paired with a qualified high-deductible health plan (HDHP). HSAs can reduce your adjusted gross income and lower taxable income. In most states, HSA funds earn interest tax-free. Funds roll over year to year and can be used with Medicare after retirement for qualified medical expenses.
