A Health Savings Account (HSA) is a tax-advantaged savings account that lets you set aside money for qualified medical expenses. To qualify, you must be enrolled in a High-Deductible Health Plan (HDHP).
| Coverage Type | Annual Limit |
|---|---|
| Self-only | $4,300 |
| Family | $8,550 |
| Catch-up (age 55+) | Additional $1,000 |
HSA funds can be used for: doctor visits, dental and vision care, prescription drugs, mental health services, medical equipment, and more. After age 65, funds can be withdrawn for any purpose without penalty (though non-medical withdrawals are taxed).
Combining a high-deductible health plan with an HSA is a powerful strategy for healthy individuals who want to minimize premiums, save on taxes, and build a medical emergency fund. Peter can help you evaluate whether this approach makes sense for you.
