Health Savings Accounts: Allowing for flexibility and individual discretion

Health Savings Accounts offers an alternative to traditional health insurance. Designed to help individuals to pay for current health expenses and save for future qualified medical and retiree health expenses on a tax-free basis. Health Savings Accounts offer control over health care decisions and treatments. Health Savings Accounts provide individuals and families with greater financial control over their specific health care needs. As well as the ability to save for future health care incidents.
Health Savings Accounts contribute to medical expenses that are not typically covered by conventional insurance policies, thus allowing individuals and families the means to explore alternative therapy and other prevention treatments. Traditional insurance policies structure treatment through in-network referrals and care. Health Savings Accounts can allow you to seek treatment both in and out of network. A Health Savings Account is different from that of more traditional flexible spending account, in that the funds that are deposited into a Health Savings Account will roll over into the next fiscal year. A Health Savings Account can accrue non-taxable interest and can be used for other non health care relation incidents.
