2018 Benefits Enrollment




Health Savings Account



What is a Health Savings Account?

An HSA is a tax-favored account you can use to pay for eligible current
and future healthcare expenses with tax-free dollars. You must enroll
in the Consumer Driven Health Plan (CDHP) to be eligible to open a

HSA. There is no use it lose it rule. Any unused money will remain in
your HSA for future use.


Intertek does not own the account. You own the account. If you leave
the company, you keep the funds. If you choose to make contributions
to your HSA on a pre-tax basis, the company may also contribute to
your account.
