Benefits of HSA for your employees
Long-Term Value:
Funds roll over from year to year and always belong to the employee, growing tax deferred. No "use it or lose it" rules. The Employee's money stays in their account and accumulates over time.
Convenient:
Employees pay medical expenses at the time of service by using a debit card, or writing a check drawn from their HSA checking account. Contributions may be made to their account through direct deposit.
Control:
HSA's gives employees greater freedom when making healthcare choices. They decide when to make a contribution, and when to spend the funds. They are the owner of the account.
Tax-Savings:
Deposits are tax deductible and can be used to pay for medical expenses at any time.
