Health Savings Account (HSA) Administration

HSAS EMPOWER SAVINGS NOW AND FOR THE FUTURE

Employees covered under a High Deductible Health Plan (HDHP) are eligible to participate in an HSA — a tax-advantaged savings and investment vehicle that offers three separate tax benefits: 1) Contributions are pre-tax 2) Withdrawals for qualified expenses are tax-free, and 3) Earned interest on investment funds is tax-free.

Benefits

  • Employees save on federal and state income tax, along with FICA and Medicare taxes on contributions made through a Flex plan
  • Unspent balances remain in your account and rollover to the following year
  • You may withdraw funds from your account for any eligible expense incurred on or after the opening of the account
  • The account is employee owned, which means the HSA will go with you to a new job, into retirement, etc.
