Health Savings Account

What is a Health Savings Account (HSA)?

As an employer, the more health benefits and value you can offer your employees the better. One option, a health savings account (HSA), lets employees set aside a part of their pre-tax income to an interest-bearing account. The account can be used to pay for medical bills and medications. Any member that has an HSA-compatible, high-deductible health plan can add to an HSA. Benefits include:

  • Savings stay with the member even if he or she changes jobs.
  • No time limit on using funds.
  • Deposits are free of employer and employee payroll taxes.
  • Low premiums.
  • No referrals.
  • Combined medical and pharmacy deductible.
  • Tax-free deposits.
  • Rollover savings.
  • Earning interest on the HSA.
