Health Savings Accounts
Health savings accounts (HSAs) are a savings method that is an alternative for traditional health insurance. It offers a different option for individuals to obtain health care. These accounts are designed so you can save tax-free monies for retiree and medical health expenses while paying for your current healthcare expenses.
One of the requirements to qualify for a health savings account is to be covered by a high deductible health plan (HDHP). This type of plan is usually less expensive than a traditional policy. The savings between the two types of plans can be applied to a health savings account. This is money that you can control. You choose the type of investment and when to spend the money. The maximum amount of contribution cannot exceed the amount of deductible for the year. Choosing the higher deductible offers the greatest opportunity for savings.
