How Health Savings
Accounts work
A Health Savings Account lets you set aside pre-tax money for future healthcare costs. HSA contributions can be withdrawn tax-free when used for qualified medical expenses. You can make FDIC eligible, interest-bearing contributions any time and the funds never expire.
An eligible individual:
- Is covered under a qualified high-deductible health plan (HDHP)
- Has no other health coverage
- Is not enrolled in Medicare
- Cannot be claimed as a dependent on someone else’s tax return
