What Are Components of HSA?
An HSA plan has 2 components:
- A qualified high deductible health insurance plan
- An Individual Tax-exempt Trust (savings & investments)
The trust account is designed to pay for your routine medical expenses and or to provide you the opportunity for savings for the future. The money you put into your HSA account can be used either during the year or you can have it accumulate in your account.
The allowable medical or healthcare expenses are identified and defined by the IRS, and have a much broader range than most insurance carriers, example includes dental, vision, and other.
