All the recent changes in health care haven’t reduced the popularity of Health Savings Accounts. In fact, employers are offering Health Savings Accounts more often as a less expensive way to cover employees. According to America’s Health Insurance Plans, more than 10 million individuals enjoy the tax-free interest and tax-deductible healthcare expenses that come with Health Savings Accounts.

Why are Health Savings Accounts appealing to more people? With the rising cost of healthcare, the high-deductible health insurance plans that work with these savings accounts typically keep premiums low. Preventive care and wellness check-ups are not subject to a deductible, though, so it’s still easy to get physicals and mammograms. These types of exams are usually covered at 100 percent and do not require any co-pays.

These high-deductible plans also limit your out-of-pocket expenses, such as $5,950 per year for an individual or $11,900 per year for a family. Both employees and their employers can contribute to a Health Savings Account, and contributions are pre-tax. <

If you’ve decided this is the last year you’re going to let tax-deductions for your healthcare expenses slip away, check out Health Savings Accounts. A Health Savings Account (HSA) offers the tax advantages of tax-free interest, and tax deductions for health-related expenses.

To get started, choose the bank or trustee you want to administer your HSA.

You can find a list of HSA Administrators, as well as information on fees, interest rates, and investment options. If you want your money invested in an interest-earning savings account, choose one with lower or zero fees. You can also place your HSA funds with an administrator offering investment options.

There are three ways you can fund your HSA. You can contribute to your HSA only when you incur health-related expenses, and immediately withdraw funds to reimburse yourself. That way, you are making your health-related expenses tax-deductible. You can also fully fund your HSA, and let what you don’t need for health-related expenses grow tax-deferred. Anoth
