More and more companies offer their employees high-deductible health plans for their insurance coverage. For some companies, it's the only option they offer. And the key to managing your high-deductible health plan well is your health savings account, or HSA. The HSA is a pretty cool financial tool when you know how to use it and take advantage of its benefits.
HSA — start saving now
Learn why it’s important to fund your account as early as you can.
Most Americans are going to need more money to pay for their health care needs than their insurance coverage will provide. The HSA is a smart way to plan for the eventual health needs that are going to arise. Contributing to your HSA and benefitting from the multiple tax-free benefits it has to offer is the best way to be read when they do.
HSA and money management
Develop a personal HSA contribution and management strategy that puts you in control of your health care dollars.
If it seems like medical costs just keep going up and up, that's because they do. But many consumers don't realize how much ability they have to contain the cost of their care. A little diligence and extra effort on your part can go a long way. It's unfortunate that you have to be so diligent to manage your costs, but it's the same in all walks of your financial life. Why would health care be any different?
Containing Your Health Care Costs
See how choosing carefully when getting health care can help you manage your health care costs.
Your health savings account can be more than a place to set aside tax-free income to pay your medical bills. It can be a savvy long-term savings tool right up there with your 401(k) and your IRA. The truth is that, as you age, your health care needs are going to go up. It's just part of getting older. More doctor visits, more medicine and more costs. But when you take advantage of the investment features of your health savings account, you can make sure you're covered, and then some, allowing you to have the golden years you're hoping for.
