Save for Future Health Care Expenses with a Health Savings AccountA Health Savings Account (HSA) is a form of consumer directed health coverage pairing a high deductible health plan with a tax-favored savings account. Designed to reduce health care insurance costs for employers and employees, the high deductible policy provides protection against major medical expenses - the HSA is used to pay for day-to-day medical expenses. This savings product offers individuals an alternative method of paying for their health care. HSAs enable individuals to pay for qualified medical expenses on a tax-favored basis. Contributions are tax-deductible and eligible distributions are tax-free. Individuals control the money in their HSA. Decisions on how to spend the money are made by the individual without relying on a third party or a health insurer. Funds not spent can carry forward to future years and be used penalty-free after age 65 for any purpose seen fit.
