HEALTH SAVINGS ACCOUNT (HSA)

OPTUM BANK Available to employees enrolled in the HDHP health plan.

A Health Savings Account (HSA) is a tax-advantaged savings account that can be used for your qualified healthcare expenses. You own your HSA and can contribute to the account with pre-tax payroll deductions based on your needs. Did you know an HSA provides triple tax benefits? The money you contribute is pre-tax, and the interest that accumulates in the account is tax-free. In addition, money withdrawn from an HSA isn’t taxed, provided you use it for qualified healthcare expenses. Like a savings account, you will only be able to withdraw funds that are in the account.

OTHER HSA ADVANTAGES

You can use the account to pay for qualified healthcare expenses.

Unspent dollars roll over each year and are yours to keep if you retire or leave the company.

You can invest your HSA funds, so your available healthcare dollars can grow over time.

How Do I Access/Make Contributions to My HSA?
