Save Specifically for Health Care Expenses
Don't wait for medical problems to strike — take your healthcare into your hands today. HSAs provide a tax-advantaged* strategy to take care of yourself at any stage of life. Best of all, it rolls over from year to year, so if you need it in two days or ten years, you're covered. All that, and you'll earn competitive interest on your balance.
Eligibility Requirements for HSAs
Most adults under 65 who are not enrolled in Medicare and are covered under a high-deductible health plan (HDHP) can qualify for an HSA, but it is up to the account holders to determine their own eligibility. Please contact your tax advisor for further eligibility requirements.
