Health Savings Accounts (HSA):

What is a Health Savings Account? 

A Health Savings Account (HSA) is a plan designed to help you manage the rising cost of health care by allowing you to set aside money to pay for out-of-pocket medical expenses and to save for retirement. You can think of it as a personal savings account for medical expenses. HSAs are employee-owned accounts, meaning you take the HSA with you if you change employers.

What is a Flexible Savings Account? 

A Flexible Spending Account (FSA) is a plan allows you to set aside money to pay for out-of-pocket medical or dependent care expenses. Here’s how it works: you set aside money in your account before you pay taxes on it. When you set aside money in a FSA, you lower the amount of income the government will tax, so you pay fewer taxes each year.
