HEALTHCARE SAVINGS ACCOUNTS (HSA) allow you to contribute to a savings account specifically earmarked for health insurance expenses. Unused HSA balances earn interest, accumulate over time and serve as a "use it or save it" account.
Contributions has tax benefits while withdrawing funds for eligible medical expenses can be made tax free. HSA's are a great way to save for deductibles, co-payments and out of network healthcare expenses on a tax advantaged basis. A debit card or optional check book provides easy access to your HSA. Tax reporting is made easy by providing you with a summary of contributions & withdrawals at the end of each year.
You are qualified to open & contribute towards an HSA if:
* You are covered by a single or family high-deductible health plan (HDHP).
* You are not covered by any other health plan providing any of the same benefits as the HDHP.
* You are not enrolled in Medicare.
* You cannot be claimed as a dependent on another person's tax return.

GLOSSARY:
Deductibles: Is the amount of money you must pay in a calendar year for medical services before you can claim health insurance benefits. Having a higher deductible usually means the cost of your insurance is lower and visa versa.
Copayments/Coinsurance: Is a percentage or fixed Dollar amount that a member pays, once the deductible has been met, as part of sharing costs with the insurance carrier until a specified limit, known as a "maximum out of pocket" has been reached. Plans with higher co-payments usually have lower premiums and visa versa.
Maximum Out of Pocket: Is the maximum financial exposure of a member or family as a result of deductibles and copayments thereby providing clarity on the financial limit afforded as a result of the membership to a particular insurance plan. Once this point is reached, the insurance carrier is typically paying 100% of all further medical costs for the remainder of the calendar year. Plans with higher maximum out of pocket limits usually have lower premiums.
