What is a Business Health Savings Account (HSA)?
A Business Health Savings Account (HSA) is a tax-advantaged savings plan available to employers who offer a High Deductible Health Plan (HDHP) to their employees. It allows businesses and team members to add contributions before federal income tax is paid, which can then be withdrawn completely tax-free when used for qualified medical expenses.
What are the benefits of offering a corporate HSA plan?
Pairing a commercial HSA offering with your corporate health benefits packages helps manage ongoing medical expenses and delivers key financial advantages:
- Lower Insurance Premiums: Benefit from lower premium overhead while still fully protecting your employees against unexpected or high medical bills.
- Extended Medical Coverage: HSA funds can be spent on a comprehensive range of current medical and mental health expenses, including items your baseline insurance policy may not touch.
- Flexible Funding Strategies: Contributions can come dynamically from you as the employer, the employee, relatives, or any designated entity.
- Long-Term Savings Expansion: Funds roll over annually and can be held in the account to gain interest or grow steadily through investment earnings.

How can my employees invest their HSA funds?
Just like a traditional savings account, your business HSA earns regular interest. To accelerate your strategy, our Health Equity Account framework allows employees to invest their balances in mutual funds once their account cross-sections meet a certain threshold, maximizing their long-term earning potential much like a 401(k) plan.
