Business Health Savings Accounts
A Health Savings Account (HSA) is a tax-favored, custodial account that allows you to set aside money to pay for eligible out-of-pocket health care expenses, now or in the future.
Employer Account Information
How do HSAs benefit your business?
- High-deductible health insurance plans cost less than traditional low-deductible, high-premium policies. Moving to a high-deductible plan may help your company control its health insurance costs. Any savings generated by moving to a high-deductible plan can be retained by your company or shared with your employees in the form of contributions to their Health Savings Accounts.
- Employer HSA contributions can be expensed to lower your tax obligations.
- Enrolling in an HSA plan will help you to continue offering affordable health insurance coverage to your employees or to begin offering coverage if you aren’t doing so already.
