HEALTH SAVINGS ACCOUNT (H.S.A)
A H.S.A. 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.
Your Medical 80/60 High Deductible Health Plan (HDHP) goes hand-in-hand with an H.S.A. They were designed to
be used together to help you save. Because HDHP’s generally have lower monthly premiums and more out-of-
pocket costs, H.S.A.’s are intended to help you pay for out-of-pocket medical expenses. You have the choice and
the control over how you use your H.S.A dollars.
H.S.A. direct deposits become effective the first pay period following the month the employee was hired and/or after
the employees have established an individual H.S.A bank account.
