What Is A Health Sav­ings Account?

A Health Savings Account (HSA) is an interest checking account designed for individuals who participate in a high deductible health care plan and want to save, pre-tax, for future medical and retiree health expenses. You can use your HSA to pay for current qualified medical expenses that are not covered by insurance.

The tax ben­e­fits of an HSA.


  • Contributions*: are not subject to Federal or state income tax. Most states do not impose a state income tax.
  • Interest: you earn on your HSA account is tax exempt.
  • Withdrawals: to pay for qualified medical expenses are tax free deductions. You also do not have the same “use it or lose it” rule as a Flexible Spending Account (FSA) so you can let your account grow and save for future medical expenses.

*Please consult a financial or tax advisor regarding your state specific rules

Employ­er Ben­e­fits Of Offer­ing HSA

  • Federal Tax Savings*: As an employer, if you make contributions to your employee HSA accounts, you may be eligible to take a federal income tax deduction on these contributions*
  • Employee Retention*: Offering a competitive benefits package that includes an HSA, that you contribute to, can help attract and retain high valued employees.
