Health insurance is intended to protect you and your family from financial hardship due to unforeseen medical expenses. It's smart to buy the protection you need without paying for things you don't. After all, if you don't use your coverage...the insurance company won't return your premiums! Health Savings Accounts are available as of January 1, 2004 thanks to an innovative, permanent federal law designed to make health care affordable and allow for the accumulation of tax-free money in the process. The HSA is combined with a qualifying high deductible health insurance plan to provide major medical protection and significant premium savings.
- The premium savings on an HSA plan is up to 50% or more* versus a typical low deductible plan.
Tax Advantages:
- Contributions to the HSA are not taxed.
- The earnings on the money in the HSA are not taxed.
- Use of the HSA money is tax-free for qualified health expenses.
