WHAT’S A HEALTH SAVINGS ACCOUNT
A Health Savings Account (HSA) allows you to pay for current or save for future qualified medical, dental, and vision expenses on a tax-free basis.

- HSA dollars may be spent on the www.HSAstore.com at any time. All items on the HSA Store are HSA eligible and provide fast and easy home delivery on non-prescription healthcare related items.
