If you are enrolled in the Bronze Medical Plan you have access to the Health Savings Account (HSA) Administered by PNC. An HSA is like a 401(k) plan but for healthcare. It is a tax-advantaged personal savings or investment account that individuals can use to save and pay for qualified healthcare expenses, now or in the future. Paired with a qualified consumer driven health plan (CDHP), like the Bronze Medical Plan, an HSA is a powerful financial tool that empowers consumers to be more actively involved in their healthcare decisions.
However, unlike other financial savings vehicles (Roth IRA, Traditional IRA, 401K, etc.), an HSA has the unique potential to offer triple tax savings through:
- Federal & State Tax-deductible contributions to the HSA.
- Tax-free interest or investment earnings.
- Tax-free distributions when used for qualified healthcare expenses.
You and/or your employer can contribute to your Health Savings Account.
