Save money on taxes

An HSA is a triple tax-advantaged account that can help you pay for qualified medical expenses.

No “use it or lose it” rule

You get to keep the money in your HSA, no matter what, even if you change jobs or move off a qualifying high-deductible health plan.

It's a family affair

You can use your HSA to pay for the qualified medical expenses of anyone you claim on your taxes, even if you’re only enrolled with single coverage.

What is an HSA?

An HSA is designed to work with a qualifying high-deductible health plan (HDHP). The money goes in tax-free, grows income tax-free and comes out income tax-free when you use it for qualified medical expenses.

You can carry over unused funds from year to year, and the account is yours to keep even if you change jobs, change health plans or retire.
