HSA Information

A Health Savings Account (HSA) is a tax-advantaged medical savings account for people who are enrolled in an eligible high-deductible health plan (HDHP). You can use the funds for medical expenses, such as prescriptions, eye care, dental, and more. The funds contributed to your HSA are automatically tax-deductible, reducing your taxable income for the year.

Health Savings Account (HSA) - Flexible Savings For Medical Expenses

Your contribution doesn't have to be used in a particular year - funds continue to accumulate. This feature is an important one for many as medical expenses may be much larger in a particular year whiles other years may have fewer expenses. It is also worth noting that you do not lose funds if you change your health plan. However, you cannot use HSA contributions to pay for expenses incurred prior to opening the account.
