A health savings account (HSA) is a personal savings account that can be used to pay for qualified medical expenses. HSAs are available to individuals who are enrolled in a high deductible health plan (HDHP). Contributions to an HSA are tax-deductible, the money in the account grows tax-free, and withdrawals for qualified medical expenses are tax-free.
