Health Savings Accounts
Introducing Health Savings Accounts
The constant changes in Health Insurance Plans and their costs can be overwhelming. As a way to help manage expenses, many employers and individuals opt for a High Deductible Health Plan (HDHP) and save money by paying lower monthly health insurance premiums.
What is a High Deductible Health Plan?
A High Deductible Health Plan is a plan with an annual deductible of at least $1,100 for single (self-only) coverage and annual out-of-pocket expenses required to be paid not exceeding $5,500. For family coverage, HDHP has an annual deductible of at least $2,200 and annual out of pocket expense required to be paid not exceeding $11,000.*
*These amounts are subject to cost-of living adjustments and can change.
What is a Health Savings Account (HSA)?
An HSA is a tax-exempt savings account established exclusively for the purpose of paying or reimbursing qualified medical expenses of you, your spouse and your dependents. The funds can help pay your HDHP deductible and qualified medical expenses not covered by your insurance policy.
How does a HSA benefit YOU?
