HSA’s enable members to pay for current health expenses and save for future qualified medical and retiree health expenses on a tax-free basis.
A person must be covered by a high deductible health plan (HDHP) to take advantage of an HSA. An HDHP generally costs less than traditional health care coverage, and the money saved on insurance can be put into the HSA.
Potentially, HSA’s offer triple tax savings by the following: pre-tax or tax-deductible contributions to the HSA; tax-free interest or investment earnings; and tax-free distributions, when used for qualified medical expenses.
Features
- Federally insured by NCUA to $250,000
