What is a Health Savings Account?
A Health Savings Account, or HSA, is a tax-exempt account with a financial institution in which funds accumulate to pay for medical expenses. They were created in response to the rising cost of health care with the intent to give the consumer back the control of their health care costs as part of a movement towards consumer-driven health-care.
Why Would a Company Consider a HSA?
HSA’S give financial incentives for employers of all sizes to provide health insurance benefits to their employees and allow them to save money on a pre-taxed basis for their medical expenses. HSA’S allows companies to enjoy tax reductions while having affordable health insurance premiums.
How Does a HSA Work?
Before a health savings account can be opened, a qualified High Deductible Health Plan (HDHP) must be in place to cover the individual or family. An HDHP provides health coverage for an individual or family with an affordable premium. The guidelines for an HDHP are determined by the Internal Revenue Service each year. To determine if your plan qualifies, please contact your health plan representative.
