Health savings accounts (HSAs)For small businesses

Health savings accounts (HSAs) are employee-owned personal savings accounts, which can be funded by an employer, an employee, or both. They can only be offered in conjunction with a federally qualified high-deductible health plan (HDHP).

Employees contribute to HSAs through payroll deduction, check, or online transfer. Contributions are tax-deductible, and distributions are tax-free when used to pay for qualified medical expenses. Interest and earnings are also tax-free.¹

With an HSA, the employee owns the account — so if he or she changes jobs, the account goes with that employee. Employees can invest a portion of their HSA funds which can help them to work toward their long-term investing goals.²
