High-Deductible Health Plan
Participants enrolled in an HDHP can open a health savings account (HSA) to save money that can be used for current and future medical expenses. There are annual limits on how much can be invested in an HSA. The funds can be invested as you choose, and any interest and earnings accumulate tax deferred. HSA funds can be withdrawn free of income tax and penalties provided the money is spent on qualified health-care expenses for the participant and his or her spouse and dependent children.
