How
does an HSA plan work?
Health Savings Accounts are used in coordination with high deductible Major Medical plans. By using the H.S.A. with this plan,
all first dollar expenses (before the deductible is met) are paid
with pre-tax dollars.
There
are 2 parts of the high deductible plan.
Part
1: High deductible insurance plan.
First
dollar doctor co-pays & RX co-pays are eliminated and replaced
with a high deductible. This can reduce premiums approximately
50%.
Part
2: Medical Savings Account
Money
saved on premiums due to the high deductible can be used to fund
a Health Savings Account. That money can then be used to pay
medical expenses as they occur until the deductible is met. Money
used from the H.S.A. to pay medical bills are pre-tax dollars.
Unused money will accumulate with interest on a tax-free basis.
Unused money
at the end of the year automatically rolls over in the H.S.A.
This
is not a “use it or lose it” plan. The
H.S.A. belongs to you.
