What Is An HSA?
A Health Savings Account (HSA) (administered by Paylocity) is a personal healthcare bank account that you can use to pay out-of-pocket medical expenses with pre-tax dollars. It is designed to give employees more accountability for their healthcare decisions. An HSA allows you to:
Be prepared for unexpected healthcare expenses not accounted for in your personal finances
Increase tax savings
Save and “roll over” money if you do not spend it in the calendar year
Carry it with you – The money in your account is always yours, even if you change health plans or jobs
Create healthcare savings for retirement
Common Eligible Expenses Include:
As long as you have a balance in your HSA, you may use the funds to pay or reimburse yourself for:
- Deductibles, copays and coinsurance
- Eligible prescriptions
