Health Savings Account
Health Savings Accounts (HSAs) are an essential component to successful participation in a High Deductible Health Plan (HDHP). With a HSA, you set aside money on a pre-tax basis to cover costs towards deductible and coinsurance for your medical, dental and vision plans.
​
These funds can be utilized to cover:
• Copays, deductibles, and coinsurance.
• Dental expenses, including orthodontia.
• Vision care or services not covered by your plan, including contact lens solution and LASIK surgery.
• All similar expenses for covered dependents.
Like a savings account, you decide what amount to elect, and when/how to use it.
Electing a high-deductible plan can feel risky, but an HSA helps. ​​
