WHY THIS DAY MATTERS

Why National Health Savings Account Day is Important

HSAs help promote wellness

Because Health Savings Accounts allow you to set aside pre-tax dollars for medical expenses, they provide incentive to purchase preventive care and other forms of treatment that may otherwise seem costly. This helps people take better care of their health and makes long term overall savings more attainable.

HSAs can help cover costs

Health Savings Accounts are an excellent way to save money on health care expenses. Contributions to a HSA are tax deductible, and can be used to pay for medical bills that aren't typically covered by insurance plans, such as certain prescription drugs or vision care.

HSAs are portable

Unlike other types of retirement accounts, HSAs are completely portable. That means the funds you contribute stay with you even when you change jobs or move. And if you don't use all the funds in your account, they roll over year after year until you need them!
