Small Business Health Savings Accounts

An HSA is an employee owned tax-advantaged savings account created to pay medical expenses that is always combined with a qualified High Deductible Health Plan (HDHP). The funds in your HSA can help pay both medical expenses covered, and not covered by your health plan, including your deductible and co-insurance on the qualified plan. An HSA is your account. When used to pay your medical expenses, all of the money you contribute is tax-deductible and goes with you when you retire or change jobs. In this way, an HSA is portable.
