Fort
Collins, CO (PRWEB) December 12, 2007 - HSA for
America, the leading source for individual and family HSA-qualified
health insurance plans, announced today a series of free teleseminars to help
individuals and families who purchase their own health insurance. The
first, to be held this Thursday December 13th, will be on the topic of Health
Savings Accounts, or HSAs.
HSAs
are special tax-deferred accounts where someone can put aside tax-deductible
money, which can then be used to pay for future medical expenses, tax-free.
If the money is not used, it simply grows tax-deferred, like an IRA.
Available since January 2004, HSAs have become the most popular type of health
insurance coverage purchased by individuals.
"Our
typical customer is saving $1,000 or more in taxes, and cutting their health
insurance premium by 40%," says Wiley Long, president of HSA
for America. "Yet many people are still confused about
how HSA plans work, because they are very different than typical health insurance
plans that offer copays for doctor visits and prescriptions."
Our
HSA teleseminar
will cover how HSAs work, how they can be used to build a medical retirement
account, and why HSAs are so popular with people who use alternative medical
treatments like homeopathy and acupuncture. The phone lines will also
be open to allow callers to get any questions they have about HSAs answered.
A
family who has their HSA-qualified health insurance approved before January
1st can contribute up to $5,650 into their health savings account. "We
expect to have a lot of people at these teleseminars, because most people
have put this off until the very last minute", added Long.
