Save Specifically for Health Care Costs

From planned check-ups and screenings to emergency and long-term care, these vital services can hit your wallet hard. Our Health Savings Account (HSA) will help you meet your deductible and/or out-of-pocket maximum expenses.

Qualifications for Using an HSA

There are a few eligibility requirements for health savings accounts:

1. You must be covered by a high deductible health plan.
2. You cannot also be covered by a health plan with a lower deductible.
3. You cannot be enrolled in Medicare (or generally, younger than age 65).
4. You cannot be a dependent claimed by someone else.

Benefits of HSAs

• Tax benefits may apply (please consult your tax advisor for more information)
• Balances rollover from year to year – no “use it or lose it” scenarios
• Employers may also make contributions (check with your employer’s human resource personnel)
• Payments are made through checks provided by Iowa State Bank
