Additional Information

A Health Savings Account (HSA) is a tax-advantaged account designed exclusively for covering medical expenses. Anybody can contribute to an HSA on behalf of the eligible individual — employers, family members or any other person.

HSA funds can be used to pay for current medical expenses or saved for future needs. Plus, unused balances may be carried from year to year during the participant's lifetime.
