Health Savings Accounts

For those enrolled in a High Deductible Health Plan, Health Savings Accounts (HSAs) are a great financial tool to help you save money on your out of pocket medical costs.    HSA-eligible plans include "HSA" in the plan title.  HSAs are not available to those selecting non-HSA qualified plans.
 

Who can open an HSA?  To utilize an HSA, you must be exclusively covered under an HSA-qualified plan.  If you have other medical coverage, either within or outside of BSSP, and that other coverage is not HSA-qualified, you may not participate in an HSA through BSSP. 
 

What is an HSA?  An HSA is similar to a flexible spending account (FSA) or unreimbursed medical account (UMA) under your district's Section 125 plan and offers the same tax benefits.  Unlike an FSA or UMA, unspent dollars deferred to a HSA rollover each year and are portable to another employer or at retirement; there is no "use or lose" provision to unspent HSA dollars. 
 

Why choose an HSA?  An HSA enables you to pay and save federal tax-free for qualified medical expenses, now and in the future.

  • Get triple-tax savings
  • Build a safety net
  • Prepare for retirement
