Health Savings Account (HSA)

A Health Savings Account is an account established for the purpose of paying medical expenses in conjunction with a high-deductible health care plan. It's a great way to save in advance for the out-of-pocket expenses you may have before you meet the conditions of your high-dedicuctible plan.
