How do HSA accounts work?
A Health Savings Account is a savings product for TFCU members that are enrolled in a High Deductible Health Plan (HDHP). HSAs enable you to pay for current health expenses and save for future qualified medical and retiree health expenses on a tax-free basis. You own and control the money in your HSA, whether you use it now or save it for the future.

Qualified medical expenses also include prescription drugs and many over-the-counter drugs, vision expenses including eyeglasses and contact lenses, medical plan deductibles and copays, as well as non-cosmetic dental expenses, which a health savings account would be useful.
