Health Savings Accounts
Available to customers who are enrolled in a high-deductible health plan, a Health Savings Account is a useful tool to help reduce the amount you pay out-of-pocket before you hit your insurance deductible.
Your HSA can pay for day-to-day medical expenses, prescriptions and appointments not covered by your health insurance, all while offering tax benefits. Please consult your tax advisor to determine specific tax benefits.
