HSA
Build your custom, simplified health savings account with WEX.
What is a Health Savings Account (HSA)?
It is a tax-advantaged medical savings account for participants in a qualifying high-deductible health plan (HDHP).
When a participant enrolls, they or their employer can contribute funds from their paycheck tax-free!
A participant can choose to use those tax-free funds to pay for eligible medical expenses, save for retirement, and/or invest.
