Free Guide to Health Savings Accounts Explains Benefits
Health Savings Accounts are the most powerful weapon for individuals and small to medium-sized employers to slice healthcare costs without reducing coverage... and they don't need to be confusing.
The Consumer's Guide to Health Savings Accounts report clears up HSA mysteries with step-by-step instructions on how an HSA can be used creatively and effectively. The guide provides a case study with before-and-after costs, a comparison of benefits and costs, how to find the best plans, how to decide on an HSA Administrator, and pitfalls to avoid.
An HSA consists of the Health Savings Account itself, which lets employees and/or employers set aside tax-free savings to pay out-of-pocket medical expenses, and an associated qualified high-deductible healthcare plan.
Most US employers could be reaping big advantages from an HSA, but only about 6 percent do. Individuals are also starting to see the huge benefits of these plans, but many are still confused. Our report will help clarify any questions you still may have.
"The Consumer's Guide to Health Savings Accounts" is available free for download at HSA for America.
