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.
Medical Plan A, Plan B, and Plan C are High Deductible Health Plans (HDHP) that allow you to enroll in a Health
Savings Account (HSA). 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, HSAs are intended to help you pay for out-of-pocket medical
expenses. You have the choice and the control over how you use your HSA dollars.
HSA direct deposits become effective the first pay period following the month the employee was hired and/or after
the employees have established an individual HSA bank account.
