Why open an HSA?

High deductible (HDHP) insurance protects you from high medical
bills.

HDHP generally costs less than traditional coverage; money saved on
premium can be put into HSA.

Contributions are tax deductible.

Funds can be withdrawn from your HSA (tax-free) to pay for qualified
medical, dental, or vision expenses.

After age 65, HSA funds can be used for non-qualified expenses
without penalty. Only income tax is assessed.

HSA funds earn interest tax-free.

Funds rollover year after year – “use it or keep it”

HSA money is yours – take it with you if you change jobs or health
coverage.
