Why would I use a Health Savings Account (HSA)?2017-04-17T23:52:50+00:00

Three popular features of an HSA are:

  • It’s flexible – you can use the money now to pay for eligible medical expenses or let the balance grow for future expenses.
  • There’s no “use it or lose it” rule like a Flexible Spending Account – your unused balance rolls forward every year.
  • The money is yours to keep – you can take any unused balance with you when you leave the company.
