HEALTH SAVINGS ACCOUNT (HSA)
An HSA is a personal savings account that can be used to pay for medical, dental, vision,
prescriptions, and other qualified medical expenses now or later in life. If you contribute on a pre-
tax basis, you will save money by reducing your taxable gross income, spending pre-tax dollars for
medical care, and growing your HSA tax-free.

employees have established an individual HSA bank account.
