Health Savings Accounts to Fit Your Needs
A health savings account is a clever way to save for medical expenses while reducing your taxable income. Think of them like a personal savings account, but the money in them is used to pay for your healthcare expenses. One big benefit is that the money you deposit into the account is not taxed.

The main requirement for establishing an HSA is being enrolled in a high-deductible health plan (HDHP) that meets IRS guidelines for the annual deductible and out-of-pocket maximum.
Once the HSA is established it’s easy to contribute and distribute funds. Since HSAs are individually owned accounts, funds always stay with the participant, even if they change jobs in the future or retire. Unused funds stay in the account and roll over year to year.
