HSA Administration

Health Savings Account – HSA 

The health savings account is an account that comes with any qualifying high-deductible health insurance plan. This account can be opened at just about any bank or credit union or through the financial partners of the insurance company, who will help you open and maintain your account over the years. To get an HSA, you must have a qualifying health plan compatible with health savings accounts.

How they Work: Any earnings on your contributions are tax-advantaged. Meaning earnings on your HSA dollars are not subject to taxation. The health savings account is funded by pre-tax contributions by the employee, though employers and other third parties also can contribute to the account. The employee determines the amount of money withheld each paycheck before payroll taxes are deducted. This gives employees more take-home pay while you, their employer, pay less in FICA and FUTA payroll taxes. When an employee incurs a qualified medical expense, they can pay using the B3PA prepaid benefits card, online bill pay, or other methods. If the employee doesn’t have enough money in their HSA to cover a medical expense, they can make a partial payment and pay the difference using another method. There is no “use it or lose it” condition. Any unused funds remain in the account and continue to accrue interest until used.
