Health Savings Account (HSA)
Lay the groundwork for smarter healthcare spending by taking advantage of triple tax savings. A Health Savings Account (HSA) pairs with our high deductible health plan (HDHP) and provides a way for you to use pre-tax dollars on eligible medical, dental, vision, and prescription expenses.

Triple Tax Advantage
-
Reduces federal income taxes: Reduce your federal income tax by the amount you deposit in your HSA when you contribute directly from your paycheck.
-
Tax-free interest: Your money earns interest while it is in the account, and you do not pay taxes on the interest earned. Any gains on dollars invested in mutual funds are also tax-free.
-
Tax-free withdrawals: You never pay taxes on HSA withdrawals when used to pay for qualified expenses, including medical, dental, vision, and prescription expenses.
