What is an HSA?

An HSA is a tax advantaged savings account to pay for qualified health care costs. The contributions are made on a pre-tax basis. There is no tax on the funds contributed, the interest earned, or investment gains as long as the funds are used to pay for qualified medical, dental, and vision expenses. To qualify for this tax-advantaged account you must be enrolled in a “high deductible” health insurance program as defined by HSA rules.
