HSA - HEALTH SAVINGS ACCOUNT
Build Tax-Free Savings to Pay For Medical Expenses...
What is a HSA?
A Health Savings Account (HSA) is a versatile savings account that works in conjunction with a High Deductible Health Plan (HDHP). HSA's are tax-free, personal investment accounts you can use to pay for qualified medical expenses.
The best part of an HSA is that you, as the account holder, has complete control over it.
- You can make an unlimited number of deposits, or contributions - so you can deposit one large sum or make smaller monthly deposits that fit within your budge.
- You don't have to spend all of the money in your HSA each year. If you deposit more than you spend, it stays in your account until you need it.
- You have the freedom to use HSA funds for qualified out-of-pocket expenses at the health provider of your choice.
- Your HSA with Morrill & Janes Bank comes with a Visa® Health Savings Check Card for your convenience in paying doctor fees, prescriptions, or other medical expense purchases.
Visit www.irs.gov for a complete listing of qualified medical expenses. Funds used from an HSA for non-qualified expenses are subject to federal taxes.
