What is a Health Savings Account (HSA)? 

Health savings accounts allow people to pay for qualified out-of-pocket medical expenses using pre-tax dollars. Unlike more traditional health care accounts, the funds in an HSA belong to the individual, not the employer or the insurance company, and travel with the individual. In order to take advantage of this tax deferred savings new benefit, individuals must purchase a specific type of health insurance coverage called a High Deductible Health Plan (HDHP).
