Health Savings Accounts
Health Savings Accounts (HSA) are individually-owned accounts which allow you to make tax-deductible contributions, accumulate earnings on a tax-deferred basis, and withdraw money tax free to pay for qualified medical expenses.
HSAs are designed for individuals who have chosen a high deductible health plan. Funds in an HSA can be used to pay for qualified medical expenses until the deductible has been met and insurance kicks in. This savings account can be accessed by transferring money from it into your checking or savings account. Then you can use the funds to pay for your qualified medical expenses. Please note that Abri does not provide a debit card or checks with this account.
