A Health Savings Account (HSA) is a tax-advantaged savings account whose funds may be used for qualified healthcare expenses at any time without federal tax liability. An HSA must be paired with an HSA qualified high-deductible health plan, but once established, the account (and the funds within) belongs to the individual. Contributions to HSAs may come from employers, individuals, or a combination of both. Unused funds within an HSA account roll over from year to year and earn interest just like a regular savings account. Health Savings Accounts put individual account-holders in control of their healthcare dollars and encourage greater consumerism when it comes to healthcare spending.
