Health Savings Accounts (HSAs)
A Smart Way to Manage Healthcare Costs
Healthcare expenses can be unpredictable — but how you plan for them doesn’t have to be. A Health Savings Account (HSA) from Health Advantage Credit Union gives you a tax-advantaged way to save and pay for qualified medical expenses, all while keeping control of your money in your hands.
If you’re covered by a High Deductible Health Plan (HDHP), an HSA can be an excellent way to prepare for both expected and unexpected costs — from prescriptions and office visits to dental, vision, and more.
What is an HSA?
An HSA is a tax-advantaged savings account designed to help individuals with HDHPs cover out-of-pocket medical expenses. You can contribute pre-tax dollars, earn dividends, and use the funds tax-free for eligible expenses — all while keeping your account in your name, no matter where life (or your job) takes you.
Whether you're actively using the funds or letting them grow for future use, an HSA offers flexibility and peace of mind.
