A tax-advantaged account paired with a high-deductible health plan, used for qualified medical expenses.
An HSA is a tax-advantaged savings account available to employees enrolled in a qualifying high-deductible health plan (HDHP). Contributions are pre-tax (or tax-deductible if made post-tax); growth is tax-free; withdrawals for qualified medical expenses are tax-free. Funds carry over year-to-year and are portable across employers.
For 2026, HSA contribution limits are approximately $4,300 (self) / $8,550 (family); catch-up contributions of $1,000 for age 55+. Employer contributions count toward these limits.
PEOs administering HDHPs typically pair them with HSA enrollment options through partner custodians.
