How HRAs work

 

A health savings account, or HSA, is like a 401(k) for medical expenses. Employees own the account and use it to pay for qualified medical expenses. Both you and your employees can make pretax payroll contributions to an HSA.
Here are some of the benefits:

  • Plans that pair with an HSA typically cost less.
  • When employees have more say in how they spend their health care dollars, they may use them more responsibly.
